[edit] Historic areas of the National Park System in Nebraska

National Monuments, National Historic Sites, 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 are two of these in Nebraska. The National Park Service lists these two together with the NHLs in the state,^[4] They are:

	Landmark name	Image	Date established^[5]	Location	County	Description
1	Homestead National Monument of America		01936-03-19 March 19, 1936	Beatrice	Gage	The first claim made under the Homestead Act of 1862.
2	Scotts Bluff National Monument		01919-12-12 December 12, 1919	Gering	Scotts Bluff	A landmark on the Oregon and Mormon Trails.
