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.

North Dakota was home to the last major gold rush in the United States, which occurred in the late 1800s. The discovery of gold in the state's Black Hills region attracted thousands of prospectors, many of whom settled in the area and helped to establish the town of Deadwood.
