List of National Historic Landmarks in Hawaii

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ʻIolani Palace , former royal residence in Honolulu .

The list of National Historic Landmarks in Hawaii lists the historical objects and places that are classified as National Historic Landmarks ( NHL ; German: National Historic Landmark ) in the American state of Hawaii 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 beyond Hawaii as a whole: 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 from 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 introduction of the landmarks program in 1960. The National Park Service names the national monuments of this type in the appendix to the NHL list for Hawaii.

Historic monuments in Hawaii

Hawaii has six such institutions of particular national historical importance; The Landmark List for Hawaii only has five entries in the appendix (as of 2017). Three of these objects are also National Historic Landmarks and are already included in the list above: the Kalaupapa National Historical Park (entry: Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement ), the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park (entry: Honokohau Settlement ) and the Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site (entry: Puukohola Heiau ).

An object has no landmark status because it was designated as a National Historical Park before the landmark system was introduced in 1960 ; one area is still on the National Park Service's list (as the USS Arizona Memorial ), but has since lost its independent status in favor of the interstate proclamation of a National Monument ; one area is not yet included in the list because it was only upgraded to a national monument by presidential decree in 2015.

Not included are the two wrecks of the battleships Arizona and Utah in Pearl Harbor, whose protected status as National Historic Landmarks was retained.
