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 Industrial Revolution started in Rhode Island in the late 1700s with the construction of Samuel Slater's cotton-spinning mill in Pawtucket, which became the first successful water-powered cotton mill in the United States.
