List of Connecticut National Historic Landmarks
The list of National Historic Landmarks in Connecticut records the historical objects and places that are classified as National Historic Landmarks ( NHL ; German: National Historic Landmark ) in the American state of Connecticut and are under the supervision of the National Park Service (NPS). It highlights its particular national importance from the multitude of other cultural monuments in the United States' National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The award is presented by the United States Department of the Interior .
The second part of this list also includes other objects that - like landmarks - have historical significance for the United States as a whole beyond Connecticut: National Historic Sites , National Historical Parks , National Memorials and some other facilities are areas, landmarks or memorials in the United States, which received the award not from the Home Office but directly through laws of Congress or orders of the President . Such historical monuments are usually also under the protection of the National Park Service, but they have usually not been declared an NHL; often their protection status was granted before the Landmarks Program was introduced in 1960. These facilities are listed by the National Park Service on the Connecticut NHL list.
Finally, this list also includes those monuments in Connecticut that have been deprived of an earlier NHL award.
