Historic areas administered by the National Park Service

National Historic Sites, National Memorials, and certain other areas listed in the National Park system are historic landmarks of national importance that are highly protected already, often before the inauguration of the NHL program in 1960, and are then often not also named NHLs per se. There is just one of these in Maine. The National Park Service lists this site together with the NHLs in the state, It is the one "International Historic Site" included in the U.S. National Park System.
