America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places
Now Accepting Nominations!
Is there a threatened historic treasure in your community? Help the National Trust for Historic Preservation raise national awareness for a one-of-a-kind place in your area - and generate local support for protecting it - by nominating it for the 2014 list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.
When evaluating a potential site for inclusion on the list, we consider a range of factors, including its significance, the urgency of the threat it faces, and potential solutions to that threat. The deadline for nominating a site to the list is March 3, 2014. To contact 11 Most program staff with questions, please email 11Most@savingplaces.org or call 202-588-6141.
About the List
Since 1988, the National Trust has used its list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places to raise awareness about the threats facing some of the nation's greatest treasures. The list, which has identified more than 250 sites to date, has been so successful in galvanizing preservation efforts that only a handful of sites have been lost. Dozens of sites have been saved through the tireless work of the National Trust, its partners, and local preservationists across the country. Many more sites are now considered "favorable" and are on the path to a positive solution. Still, others remain threatened, and the National Trust and its partners continue in their efforts to protect these important endangered places.
