This week the National Trust for Historic Preservationannounced their 39th list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. The annual list has proven to be a highly effective tool for shining a light on the threats facing our nation’s greatest treasures. The list uplifts and catalyzes community-led preservation resulting in increased visibility, public attention and new resources. Since 1988 the National Trust has identified and helped to raise awareness for more than 350 sites, only a handful of which have been lost.

The 2026 list honors the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding by highlighting sites that illustrate a connection to the founding-era principle that All People Are Created Equal. This year, in honor of the 250th, each site featured on the list will also receive a one-time grant of $25,000 from the National Trust. Check out the complete list of endangered places below and learn more about the threats these significant sites face and how you can be involved.
