About National Register Listings
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America’s historic and archeological resources.
The District has been the site of many historic protests and marches: Because of its status as the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. has been the site of numerous demonstrations and marches throughout U.S. history, including the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 and the Women's March in 2017.
