Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage
Official government listing of what is worthy of historic preservation
The Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage, commonly referred to as the Alabama Register, is an official listing of buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts deemed worthy of preservation in the U.S. state of Alabama. These properties, which may be of national, state, and local significance, are designated by the Alabama Historical Commission. The designation is honorary and carries no direct restrictions or incentives. The register includes properties such as cemeteries, churches, moved properties, reconstructed properties, and properties at least 40 years old which may not normally qualify for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.[1] There are approximately 1683 properties and districts listed on the Alabama Register.[2] Of these, approximately 238 are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places and 6 are designated as National Historic Landmarks.[3]
