National Register of Historic Places

Established by Congress in 1966, the National Register of Historic Places is the nation's official list of significant historic properties. Each state has a historic preservation office which is responsible for nominating buildings, sites, districts, etc. to the Register. In Louisiana this program is administered by the Division of Historic Preservation, which is part of the Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism.

For information on how to list your historic property on the National Register, contact Donna Fricker, National Register Coordinator, at 225.342.8160. All first time inquiries should be directed to Patricia Duncan, National Register Section.
