ABSTRACT This profusely illustrated booklet, written primarly for school children, includes drawings and descriptions of 43 of the National Historic Landmarks located in the United States. The accounts move chronologically from prehistoric cave paintings through the moon rocks collected by the Apollo astronauts in 1969. Most of the drawings represent the landmarks as they appear today, showing what visitors would see if they went to the building or site. Other drawings are based on old photographs so that important events can come to life. The black and white drawings may be colored or painted by the student. There is also a page on which students can draw their own pictures of something that they they think should be a landmark. In addition, the book includes a guide to the landmarks and information on how students can help preserve them. (LBG)

Has your class ever taken a trip to the home of a famous politician or inventor? Perhaps your family stopped the car at the site of a historic battle? Or maybe yo _I've heard your parents or teachers talking about getting together to save an old building from being torn down?

These places that schools and families visit, and communities seem to care so much about are historic landmarks special places with exciting stories about the past. Buildings and sites are chosen as landmarks to recognize their importance in history. Small towns and big cities have landmarks. So do States. There are also landmarks that commemorate our entire nation's history.

Suppose you were asked to choose a few landmarks close to your home or school. Which would you choose? The oldest house in town? The city hall? A park with a statue in it? Or maybe a bridge, or lighthouse, or an old fire station? Instead of a single building, maybe you'd choose a whole street that shows how people used to live and work.

Now, what would happen if your classmates were asked to make their own list of nearby historic landmarks. Do you think they'd come up with the same choices? What about your teacher, or parents, or grandparents viat places would they choose? If you compared the different lists, you might be surprised to discover that you had picked many of the same places. That's because families and even entire communities share feelings and ideas about their past, including what is important to take care of for future generations to learn about and enjoy. What are National Historic Landmarks?

Let's suppose you were asked to choose the Nation's most impor,ant historic buildings and sites. These very special places would have to include every different chapter of America's rich past. They would have to show who "we the people" are, where we came from, what we built, what we think, what we've done, how we've been spending our leisure time and our money, and even what we've changed or tried to improve.

Choosing places important to the entire Nation would be very difficult and would have to be done with great ca}.e. Well, that's exactly what, the U. S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service does through the National Historic Landmarks Program. Out of the millions of historic and pre-historic properties in the country, so far only about 2000 have been given the honor of being called National Historic Landmarks. Just about every type of property you can think of is included in the " t and almost all are 50 years old or much older. There are homes of famous people, schools, factories, stores, skyscrapers, archeological sites, dams, ships, forts, bridges railroads, courthouses, rockets, and even entire neighborhoods!

1 How are National Historic Landmarks Chosen?

The National Park Service asks experts in history. --chitecture, engineering, archeology, and anthropology to make a list of properties that are related to some aspect of America's history such as Science and Technology. The experts group these properties together according to historic themes for instance, the history of the space flight program. Then, they study all the properties in the group very carefully. From the many examples, a . norter list is made. Next, the semi-finalist candidates for National Historic Landmark status are looked at again, this time by a board of scholars and concerned citizens.It's this group that recommends to the National Park Service which very special places should become National Historic Landmarks. Who makes the final decision? The Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior. By designating a property a National Historic Landmark, the Secretary recognizes its .mportance to all Americans. Afterwards, a ceremony is often held. The owner is given a certificate and offered a free plaque with the Landmark's name on it. A property may be chosen as a Landmark if is determined to be of historical importance to ALL Americans as:

an event a way of life or culture an individual or group achievement

a scientific finding architecture that illustrates a an idea or ideal period, style, or method of construction

2 S What about choosing future National Historic Landmarks? History is always being made or revised when new information is found. Tomorrow, you could be a historian involved in this exciting challenge. In fact, you could even participate in an activity that becomes a Landmark event. Something you invent, design, build, do, or say may be widely remembered. Who Owns and Takes Care of National Historic Landmarks?

Some of America's National Historic Landmarks are owned and taken care of by the federal government. You'll find these government-owned Landmarks in National Parks across the country. Even if you haven't visited them, you may already know about Landmarks in the Parks from your classwork famous places like Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Thomas Edison's home and laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey; and Martin Luther King's neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia.

But not all National Historic Landmarks belong to the federal government. In fact, most are owned and taken care of by individual citizens or groups of citizens. For example, Carnegie Hall, a huge public theater, is owned by the City of New York. Playwright Eugene O'Neill's house in New London, Connecticut, is owned by a small community organization and is open daily as a museum. And the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana, owned by a private corporation, hosts automobile races that delight millions of spectators each year.

National Historic Landmarks require special care, particularly if the Landmark is open for the public to see and enjoy. Why do people spend time and money to protect and share these historic properties? You'll have a chance to see for yourself after you complete your Landmarks Adventure. Your Landmarks Adventure

In the pages that follow, you will find drawings of 43 National Historic Landmarks, representing more than 3,000 years of our country's history and prehistory. Each drawing has a caption that explains why the Landmark is nationally significant. Beginning with a pre-historic cave painting, you move forward in time right up to our country's expedition to the moon in 1969. Most of the Landmarks are shown as they appear today what you would be likely to see if you visited a building or site. A few drawings have been based on old photographs so that an important event in history can be brought to life. So now, future historians and makers-of- history, here is a chance to get out your colors (paints, colored pencils, markers), and takea trip into your own past. At the end of the book, you'll even get to draw what you think should bea landmark.

After you've travelled through the pages of this book, explore for yourself the exciting world of America's history that lies just beyond your classroom and your home. A guide is included at the end of the book that tells whether a Landmark is open to the public so that youcan learn more about its history. You will see that most of the Landmarks featured in this book welcome visitors.It your family is planning a trip, be sure you take the Landmarks Adventure book along. You can keep a record of how many of these famous places you've visited.

England Adam Thoroughgood House Virginia Beach, Virginia Built 1680

This brick house may look big, but it only has two rooms downstairs. Each one has a large fireplace. Clay and oyster shells were used to make the mortar to lay the bricks. Because glass was scarce, the window panes are very small. The steep roof, windows, and the pattern of the brick laying are all in the English tradition. The walls were very thick to provide natural insulation against the harsh winters and warm summers. Holland Dewint House Tappan, New York Built 1700

With its flaring roof line, this small stone and brick house looks much like other houses of Dutch builders who settled the Valley. It has four rooms a kitchen and living room downstairs (each with a fireplace) and two bedrooms upstairs. The living room has the original blue Delft tile in it, which the builder imported from his old home in Holland. You can still see the year 1700 set in the side of the house in large brick numbers!

France Par lenge Plantation House Mix vicinity, Louisiana Built about 1750

This "Creole" house was based on French building methods steep roof, stucco over brick walls, and long windows called French doors. At the same time it is not just like a house built in France. It was adapted to the hot, humid climate of the bayous using the traditions of people who lived in the West Indies and Africa, then came to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The main living area is on the second floor, raised above the muddy ground. The first floor was used as a kitchen and for storage. The long doors could be opened to cool the inside rooms, and the porches provided shade.

The first thing you notice is its broad, umbrella-shaped roof, designed to protect people from the hot sun and the rain. In Africa, this type of building would probably have had a thatch (straw) roof.

Spain Rafael Gonzales House Santa Barbara, California Built about 1825

This Spanish-style house was built of adobe brick and covered with stucco, then painted white. The walls are about two feet thick, which helps keep the inside cool. Also, because it is warm in California, all year and people are often outdoors, there is a veranda (porch) and a patio (courtyard). The house has a red clay-tile roof.

China The Wo Hing Society Temple Lahaina, Island of Maui, Hawaii Built about 1912

This temple was built by the Chinese who settled in Lahaina. It was mainly a social meeting hall, although there was an altar room on the second floor. You can see that the building has been designed to fit the warm Hawaiian climate, with large doors and windows that allow the ocean breezes to cool the inside. Greeting all who enter is the "Dancing Lion of Taipei," a ceremonial lion sculpture that serves as the traditional Chinese symbol of good luck.

Ellicott City The Baltimore and Ohio (B & 0) railroad company was the first one in the United States to be chartered as a common carrier of freight and Station passengers. The Ellicott City Station was built in 1830-31 as the "end of the line" for the original 13-mile stretch of track laid by the B & 0. Ellicott City, Because this first section of track was a financial success, the railroad expanded to the west. The prosperity of the B & 0 encouraged other railroad companies to build more railroad track. The small station in Ellicott City no longer services passenger trains, but freight trains frequently pass by.

Little Tokyo Many Japanese immigr.,Lits settled in California's rural areas in the early 1900s. Not allowed to own land under State law, they moved to the Historic District cities, especially to the downtown Los Angeles area, because of opportunities for work and business. Soon, Little Tokyo became the (Eligible for NHL center of the cut-flower and retail produce industries in the city. Today, designation) the historic Little Tokyo section is just a small part of the larger San Pedro, California Japanese community that thrived here before World War II (1941-45). At that time, many Japanese-Americans in San Pedro, like those of other communities along the West Coast, were put into government camps until the war was over. In 1988, the government publicly apologized for this war-time action. 30 4 3 ... I ' _ -

Maria and Pietro Protesting unfair working conditions, 800 loom weavers in a Paterson, New Jersey silk mill walked off the job in January of 1913. Soon, 24,000 Botto House angry men, women, and children joined in a general strike that closed all the Paterson mills and dye houses. Encouraged by leaders of the Haledon, New Jersey International Workers of the World, the strikers demanded an 8-hour work day and $12 a week minimum wage. The Bottos were weavers who offered their home in Haledon to hold weekly rallies. After seven months, though, the workers had to return to the same harsh conditions at the mills. But this strike was very important because it made the nation more aware of the problems faced by workers, especially recent immigrants in the work force. 5 33 "I Is

Rose Bowl The history of the Rose Bowl goes back to the 1880s when citizens of Pasadena began to celebrate New Year's Day with parades of flower- Pasadena, California decked buggies. The parade quickly became a tourist attraction. Automobiles and floats w,-.re soon part of the pageant, followed by the football games that are now also one of the traditions of this celebration. The oldest and most famous of the post-season college football bowl games has been held almost every year since 1923. The Rose Bowl is part of the story of how some sports events in our century have grown into national spectacles that are brought into homes all across the country through radio and television.

Then, in less than three decades, America moved from the nickelodeon Theater and silent film to motion pictures with sound! As the movies became very popular, thousands of movie theaters were built across the county. The Oakland, California largest theatres were called "movie palaces," elaborate structures with ornate decorations inside and out. One, the Paramount, was built in 1931 as the country was moving toward the Great Depression. Although many theaters failed during the nation's hardest economic times, the Paramount remained open.

46 Helping to Save Landmarks

Over 80% of America's National Historic Landmarks are in good shape. But some others need help if they are to survive. Landmarks can be threatened in many ways. For example, even though an owner may want to preserve the Landmark, sometimes the cost of upkeep and repair are too high. In addition, a Landmark may become damaged by fires, floods, or vandalism. Or someone may want to tear a Landmark down to construct a new building in its place. These are just a few of the reasons that Landmarks become threatened or endangered.

The National Park Service gives free guidance to National Historic Landmark owners through its publications. The National Park Service experts may also visit Landmarks to answer questions about preservation care. This kind of cooperation between the federal government and private citizens is key to the success of caring for our Landmarks.
