Properties on the National Register of Historic Places

From Historic Saranac Lake Wiki


The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 established the National and State Registers programs. The State and National Registers of Historic Places are the official lists of buildings, structures, districts, objects, and sites significant in the history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture of New York and the nation. Through Historic Saranac Lake's efforts, approximately 230 properties have been added to the National Register.
