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.

In 1962, Oregon became the first state in the United States to implement a bottle deposit program. The program required a 5-cent deposit on beverage containers, which could be redeemed when the containers were returned.
