List of National Historic Landmarks in Michigan

The National Historic Landmarks in Michigan represent Michigan's history from pre-colonial days through World War II, and encompasses several landmarks detailing the state's automotive, maritime and mining industries.

There are 42 National Historic Landmarks (NHL) in the state, located in 18 of its 83 counties.

[1] In addition, two previously designated landmarks have lost that status due to the demolition of the sites.

The National Park Service determines which properties meet NHL criteria and makes nomination recommendations after an owner notification process.

This designation provides indirect, partial protection of the historic integrity of the properties via tax incentives, grants, monitoring of threats, and other means.
