National Register Heritage Travel
Description
Travel Itineraries: Produced in cooperation with the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers and American Express. Each itinerary includes a map locating approximately 50 historic places, a brief description of each site's importance in the nation's past, and a series of full-color photographs.

Each itinerary focuses on a particular region. The three now available on paper explore southwest Texas, coastal Georgia and Florida, and the American Southwest. You can also see an on-line version of Along the Georgia-Florida Coast. Future itineraries will cover coastal California, and Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands.

The National Register also introduces visitors to the historic resources in American cities. A National Register Travel Itinerary is the first of a series of on-line guides that include a map, addresses, descriptions, and photos of places worth visiting in some of the country's greatest urban areas.

Computerized Information: The National Register of Historic Places also encourages travelers to find out more about historic places across the United States by accessing the National Register Information System (NRIS). With computerized data available on more than 66,000 historic resources, the NRIS can help you find local landmarks, publically-managed archaeological sites, nostalgic roadside attractions and many other interesting places in small towns, big cities, and everywhere in between.

How to Use This Tool
Many of the National Register Travel Itineraries have been prepared through partnerships with local preservation organizations, historical societies, chambers of commerce, city governments, or statewide groups. Preparing an online Travel Itinerary with the National Register can be beneficial to your organization for a number of reasons. The Travel Itinerary series can help revitalize communities through increased heritage tourism, link well-known historic sites to other less-visited places, enhance awareness within your own community of important historic properties and the value of preserving them, and provide a valuable source for students, researchers and the general public searching for information about significant historic places across America.
