Nineteen historic Michigan properties were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2023, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced Wednesday.
Administered in Michigan by the State Historic Preservation Office, the National Register of Historic Places is the United States federal government’s official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance.
“These 19 historic properties listed in 2023 help to tell a more complete history at the local, state, and national levels,” said State Historic Preservation Officer Ryan Schumaker. “Listing in the National Register not only provides a way to celebrate this important history, it also provides opportunities for economic investment in these properties and communities.”
More than 96,000 properties across the U.S., including nearly 2,000 in Michigan, have been listed in the National Register since the program began in the 1960s. The National Register is a program of the National Park Service and is administered by individual states.
