Otherdrawings are based on old photographs so that important events cancome to life. The black and white drawings may be colored or paintedby the student. There is also a page on which students can draw theirown pictures of something that they they think should be a landmark.In addition, the book includes a guide to the landmarks andinformation on how students can help preserve them.

The Great American Landmarks AdventureHas 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 parentsor 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 aboutare historic landmarks special places with exciting stories about the past. Buildings and sitesare chosen as landmarks to recognize their importance in history. Small towns and big cities havelandmarks. So do States. There are also landmarks that commemorate our entire nation'shistory.
Suppose you were asked to choose a few landmarks close to your home or school. Whichwould you choose? The oldest house in town? The city hall? A park with a statue in it? Ormaybe a bridge, or lighthouse, or an old fire station? Instead of a single building, maybe you'dchoose 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 nearbyhistoric landmarks. Do you think they'd come up with the same choices? What about yourteacher, or parents, or grandparents viat places would they choose? If you compared thedifferent 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 andsites. These very special places would have to include every different chapter of America's richpast. 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, andeven what we've changed or tried to improve.
Choosing places important to the entire Nation would be very difficult and would have tobe done with great ca}.e. Well, that's exactly what, the U. S. Department of the Interior's NationalPark Service does through the National Historic Landmarks Program. Out of the millions ofhistoric and pre-historic properties in the country, so far only about 2000 have been given thehonor of being called National Historic Landmarks. Just about every type of property you canthink of is included in the " t and almost all are 50 years old or much older. There are homes offamous people, schools, factories, stores, skyscrapers, archeological sites, dams, ships, forts,bridges railroads, courthouses, rockets, and even entire neighborhoods!

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 historysuch as Science and Technology. The experts group these properties together according tohistoric themes for instance, the history of the space flight program. Then, they study all theproperties in the group very carefully.
From the many examples, a . norter list is made. Next, the semi-finalist candidates forNational Historic Landmark status are looked at again, this time by a board of scholars andconcerned citizens. It's this group that recommends to the National Park Service which veryspecial places should become National Historic Landmarks.
Who makes the final decision? The Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Bydesignating a property a National Historic Landmark, the Secretary recognizes its .mportance toall Americans. Afterwards, a ceremony is often held. The owner is given a certificate and offereda 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 toALL Americans as:
an event
a scientific finding
2
a way of life or culture
architecture that illustrates aperiod, style, or method of
construction
S
an individual or groupachievement
an idea or ideal
What about choosing future National Historic Landmarks? History is always being madeor revised when new information is found. Tomorrow, you could be a historian involved in thisexciting challenge. In fact, you could even participate in an activity that becomes a Landmarkevent. Something you invent, design, build, do, or say may be widely remembered.
Who Owns and Takes Care of National HistoricLandmarks?
Some of America's National Historic Landmarks are owned and taken care of by the federalgovernment. You'll find these government-owned Landmarks in National Parks across thecountry. Even if you haven't visited them, you may already know about Landmarks in the Parksfrom 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'sneighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia.
But not all National Historic Landmarks belong to the federal government. In fact, mostare owned and taken care of by individual citizens or groups of citizens. For example, CarnegieHall, a huge public theater, is owned by the City of New York. Playwright Eugene O'Neill's housein New London, Connecticut, is owned by a small community organization and is open daily as amuseum. 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 forthe public to see and enjoy. Why do people spend time and money to protect and share thesehistoric properties? You'll have a chance to see for yourself after you complete your LandmarksAdventure.
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 acaption that explains why the Landmark is nationally significant. Beginning with a pre-historiccave 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 youvisited a building or site. A few drawings have been based on old photographs so that animportant 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 take a tripinto your own past. At the end of the book, you'll even get to draw what you think should be alandmark.
After you've travelled through the pages of this book, explore for yourself the exciting worldof America's history that lies just beyond your classroom and your home. A guide is included atthe end of the book that tells whether a Landmark is open to the public so that you can learnmore about its history. You will see that most of the Landmarks featured in this book welcomevisitors. 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.

HollandDewint HouseTappan, New YorkBuilt 1700
With its flaring roof line, this small stone andbrick house looks much like other houses ofDutch builders who settled the Hudson RiverValley. It has four rooms a kitchen and livingroom downstairs (each with a fireplace) and twobedrooms upstairs. The living room has theoriginal blue Delft tile in it, which the builderimported from his old home in Holland. You canstill see the year 1700 set in the side of the housein large brick numbers!
We built houses
EnglandAdam Thoroughgood HouseVirginia Beach, VirginiaBuilt 1680
This brick house may look big, but it only hastwo rooms downstairs. Each one has a largefireplace. Clay and oyster shells were used tomake the mortar to lay the bricks. Because glasswas scarce, the window panes are very small.The steep roof, windows, and the pattern of thebrick laying are all in the English tradition. Thewalls were very thick to provide naturalinsulation against the harsh winters and warmsummers.
FrancePar lenge Plantation HouseMix vicinity, LouisianaBuilt about 1750
This "Creole" house was based on French buildingmethods steep roof, stucco over brick walls, andlong windows called French doors. At the sametime it is not just like a house built in France. Itwas adapted to the hot, humid climate of thebayous using the traditions of people who lived inthe West Indies and Africa, then came to theMississippi Gulf Coast. The main living area is onthe second floor, raised above the muddy ground.The first floor was used as a kitchen and forstorage. The long doors could be opened to coolthe inside rooms, and the porches provided shade.

SpainRafael Gonzales HouseSanta Barbara, CaliforniaBuilt about 1825
This Spanish-style house was built of adobe brickand covered with stucco, then painted white. Thewalls are about two feet thick, which helps keepthe inside cool. Also, because it is warm inCalifornia, all year and people are often outdoors,there is a veranda (porch) and a patio (courtyard).The house has a red clay-tile roof.
AfricaAfrican House' at Melrose (Yucca)PlantationMelrose, LouisianaBuilt about 1820
The African House is just one of the buildings onthis large farm, and was most likely used as ashed for tools. The first thing you notice is itsbroad, umbrella-shaped roof, designed to protectpeople from the hot sun and the rain. In Africa,this type of building would probably have had athatch (straw) roof.
ChinaThe Wo Hing Society TempleLahaina, Island of Maui, HawaiiBuilt about 1912
This temple was built by the Chinese who settledin Lahaina. It was mainly a social meeting hall,although there was an altar room on the secondfloor. You can see that the building has beendesigned to fit the warm Hawaiian climate, withlarge doors and windows that allow the oceanbreezes to cool the inside. Greeting all who enteris the "Dancing Lion of Taipei," a ceremonial lionsculpture that serves as the traditional Chinesesymbol of good luck.

Ellicott City
Station
Ellicott City, Maryland
7es-->1.
The Baltimore and Ohio (B & 0) railroad company was the first one inthe United States to be chartered as a common carrier of freight andpassengers. The Ellicott City Station was built in 1830-31 as the "endof the line" for the original 13-mile stretch of track laid by the B & 0.Because this first section of track was a financial success, the railroadexpanded to the west. The prosperity of the B & 0 encouraged otherrailroad companies to build more railroad track. The small station inEllicott City no longer services passenger trains, but freight trainsfrequently pass by.

Little TokyoHistoric District
(Eligible for NHLdesignation)San Pedro, California
30
Many Japanese immigr.,Lits settled in California's rural areas in the early1900s. Not allowed to own land under State law, they moved to thecities, especially to the downtown Los Angeles area, because ofopportunities for work and business. Soon, Little Tokyo became thecenter of the cut-flower and retail produce industries in the city. Today,the historic Little Tokyo section is just a small part of the largerJapanese community that thrived here before World War II (1941-45). Atthat time, many Japanese-Americans in San Pedro, like those of othercommunities along the West Coast, were put into government campsuntil the war was over. In 1988, the government publicly apologized forthis war-time action.

Maria and Pietro
Botto House
Haledon, New Jersey
Protesting unfair working conditions, 800 loom weavers in a Paterson,New Jersey silk mill walked off the job in January of 1913. Soon, 24,000angry men, women, and children joined in a general strike that closedall the Paterson mills and dye houses. Encouraged by leaders of theInternational Workers of the World, the strikers demanded an 8-hourwork day and $12 a week minimum wage. The Bottos were weavers whooffered their home in Haledon to hold weekly rallies. After sevenmonths, though, the workers had to return to the same harsh conditionsat the mills. But this strike was very important because it made thenation more aware of the problems faced by workers, especially recentimmigrants in the work force.

Rose Bowl
Pasadena, California
36
The history of the Rose Bowl goes back to the 1880s when citizens ofPasadena began to celebrate New Year's Day with parades of flower-decked buggies. The parade quickly became a tourist attraction.Automobiles and floats w,-.re soon part of the pageant, followed by thefootball games that are now also one of the traditions of this celebration.The oldest and most famous of the post-season college football bowlgames has been held almost every year since 1923. The Rose Bowl ispart of the story of how some sports events in our century have growninto national spectacles that are brought into homes all across thecountry through radio and television.

Paramount
Theater
Oakland, California
38
It's hard to imagine that in 1900 there were no movie theaters at all!Then, in less than three decades, America moved from the nickelodeonand silent film to motion pictures with sound! As the movies became verypopular, thousands of movie theaters were built across the county. Thelargest theatres were called "movie palaces," elaborate structures withornate decorations inside and out. One, the Paramount, was built in1931 as the country was moving toward the Great Depression. Althoughmany theaters failed during the nation's hardest economic times, theParamount remained open. Today, it is one of the major remaining moviepalaces in the United States.

Gateway Arch
St. Louis, Missouri
This is the biggest monument in the United States larger than theStatue of Liberty or the Washington Monument. The 630 foot high,stainless steel arch was built as a memorial to the expansion of theUnited States across the North American continent, and especially to therole of Thomas Jefferson in the Louisiana Purchase. The architect whodesigned it, Eero Saarinen, was born in Finland. Like Frank LloydWright, Saarinen is famous in the history of modern architecture. His1947 design for the arch still seems daring today. You can ride anelevator-car to the top!

Huntsville, Alabama

On July 16, 1969, when Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin. and MichaelCollins took off on our first expedition to the surface of the moon, theywere carried by a Saturn V Launch vehicle. Because parts of the launchvehicle were designed to fall away during flight, you can't visit a Saturn Vthat has actually flown to the moon. At the Alabama Space and RocketCenter, though, you can see a real Saturn V rocket that was used fortesting.

Helping to Save Landmarks
Over 80% of America's National Historic Landmarks are in good shape. But some others needhelp if they are to survive. Landmarks can be threatened in many ways. For example, eventhough an owner may want to preserve the Landmark, sometimes the cost of upkeep and repairare too high. In addition, a Landmark may become damaged by fires, floods, or vandalism. Orsomeone may want to tear a Landmark down to construct a new building in its place. These arejust a few of the reasons that Landmarks become threatened or endangered.
The National Park Service gives free guidance to National Historic Landmark owners through itspublications. The National Park Service experts may also visit Landmarks to answer questionsabout preservation care. This kind of cooperation between the federal government and privatecitizens is key to the success of caring for our Landmarks.
