A '''National Historic Landmark''' is a site recognized by the government of the [[United States]] as having particular historical significance. There are roughly 2,500 sites registered as NHLs, and the designation may be conferred by the [[National Park|National Park Service]]. National Historic landmarks may be publicly or privately owned, in contrast to National Parks, and roughly half of the recognized sites are privately-held.
