National Historic Landmarks Program

Sixty days prior to the scheduled meeting of the Landmarks Committee the NHL Program sends information about the meeting date, time, and location to the same interested parties who were notified that a nomination was being written. These parties are also sent a copy of the draft nomination.

• The owner or owners of the property

• The highest elected local official of the jurisdiction in which the property is located such as a mayor or a county official

• The State Historic Preservation Officer for the state in which the property is located; if the property is located on tribal land the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for that tribe; if the property is owned by a federal agency, the Federal Preservation Officer for that agency

• The two U.S. Senators for the state in which the property is located

• The U.S. House of Representatives Member for the district in which the property is located

These parties are invited to attend the meeting and/or send written comments to the NHL Program concerning the proposed NHL and/or the adequacy of the nomination itself.

This same information is also published in The Federal Register.

Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, MI: This plant was built for the Ford Motor Company in 1904. This is where the company initially achieved quantity production of technically-advanced, yet inexpensive, automobiles, enabling Ford to become the largest automobile producer in the United States by 1906, and influencing the path of the entire industry. In this plant, the Model T Ford, the most technologically, economically, and culturally significant automobile in American history, was conceived, designed, and first produced. This facility represents Henry Ford’s rise to a preeminent position in the automotive industry, and in American history.
