History in harm's way

For 38 years, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has released a list of the 11 most endangered culturally significant historic sites across the United States, helping to raise awareness and reduce the risk of these sites being lost forever.

Despite being threatened by neglect, development, climate change or lack of resources, these places tell unique stories about American architectural and cultural history.
