The National Trust Reveals America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places of 2023

This week, the National Trust for Historic Preservation announced its annual list of 11 imperiled American historic sites facing irreparable damage or destruction. Launched in 1988 to identify, raise awareness of, and preserve culturally significant landmarks, the program, now in its 36th year, has bolstered support for the safeguarding of more than 350 sites. Since the inception of the Endangered Places list, only a small handful of these at-risk landmarks have been lost.

“The diversity of sites—and the stories behind them—reflects the complexities and challenges that have always been part of what it means to be American, but have not always received the attention they deserve,” said National Trust interim president and CEO Jay Clemens in a statement.
