The National Park Service dedicates “National Historic Landmarks (NHLs).” They are in the words of the NPS “historic properties that illustrate the heritage of the United States. The over 2,600 NHLs found in the U.S. today come in many forms: historic buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts. Each NHL represents an outstanding aspect of American history and culture.”
Forty-nine NHLs are in Texas. How many have you visited?
