2025 America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places - Deadline

Nomination Deadline October 8, 2024

Do you know an important but threatened place in your community that could benefit from national advocacy and attention? The National Trust for Historic Preservation is now accepting nominations for the 2025 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Nominations will be accepted until October 8, 2024. For more information about the program and a link to the nomination form, visit our FAQ. 

The 11 Most Endangered program uplifts and catalyzes community-led preservation work through a high-impact public awareness campaign resulting in increased visibility, public attention, and new resources to save and activate historic places for the public good. The list, which has identified more than 350 sites to date, has been so successful in galvanizing preservation efforts that less than five percent of these sites have been lost.  

When evaluating nominations, we consider factors including significance, local support for preservation, the urgency of the threat, and the potential solutions to that threat – including the broader impact that an endangered designation might have on saving and activating the place.  

As part of the National Trust’s continued commitment to telling the full American story, we particularly invite nominations for historic places that highlight a unique or overlooked aspect of American history and that expand our understanding of our shared national heritage. To that end, we welcome nominations of historic places important to communities who are historically underrepresented within preservation, including, but not limited to, historic places associated with women, immigrants, Asian Americans, Black Americans, Latine Americans, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and LGBTQ+ communities. We also particularly invite nominations for historic places that are facing threats related to the impacts of climate change.
