Historic Landmark auf Pearl Harbor
National Historic Landmarks (NHL) sind Stätten in den Vereinigten Staaten, die vom Innenministerium als besonders bedeutend eingestuft wurden, weil sie
- Ort eines wichtigen Ereignisses der amerikanischen Geschichte,
- Wirkungsstätte eines bedeutenden Amerikaners,
- wichtige nationale Gedenkstätten,
- herausragende Beispiele für Gestaltung und Bau,
- charakteristisch für eine bestimmte Art zu leben (way of life) oder
- von archäologischem Interesse sind.
Mehr als die Hälfte der knapp 2.500 National Historic Landmarks befinden sich in Privatbesitz. Die National Historic Landmark Stewards Association hat sich deren Erhaltung und Schutz verschrieben. National Historic Landmarks sind eine Untermenge der im National Register of Historic Places verzeichneten Stätten.
