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 famous poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow tells the story of Paul Revere's legendary midnight ride from Boston to Lexington and Concord to warn the colonists of British troop movements. While the poem is a beloved part of American history, it contains many inaccuracies.
