United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Barnes, Mark R.2004-10-27Encyclopedia article about National Historic Landmarks in Georgia. National Historic Landmarks (NHLs) are cultural resources (buildings, sites, districts, structures, and objects) that have been determined by the secretary of the interior to be nationally significant in American history and culture, under the authority of the Historic Sites Act of 1935. In 2004 Georgia had 46 NHLs, among approximately 2,500 nationwide. Unlike listings in the National Register, which depend upon nomination by the state historic preservation officer, NHLs are processed through the National Park Service and designated through the secretary of the interior. NHLs may be designated only after a special nationwide study has been completed and a cultural resource has received a favorable recommendation from the National Park System Advisory Board.text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.National Historic Landmarks Program (U.S.)Historic buildings--GeorgiaHistoric sites--GeorgiaNational Historic LandmarksText
