It might seem strange to keep such a list, but it has proven helpful when planning trips. The plan is to get to more of these places and really spend some time at each. By the way if you’re interested in the designations, click here. In short:
- Generally, a national park contains a variety of resources and encompasses large land or water areas to help provide adequate protection of the resources.
- A national monument is intended to preserve at least one nationally significant resource. It is usually smaller than a national park and lacks its diversity of attractions.
- The title national memorial is most often used for areas that are primarily commemorative. They need not be sites or structures historically associated with their subjects.
- In recent years, national historic site has been the title most commonly applied by Congress in authorizing the addition of such areas to the National Park System.
- There are also national historic landmarks, national historic landmark districts, and national historical parks. In the United States, sites are “historic”, while parks are “historical”. The NPS explains that a site can be intrinsically historic, while a park is a modern legal invention. As such, a park is not itself “historic”, but can be called “historical” when it contains historic resources. It is the resources which are historic, not the park. (Source: wikipedia.)
- And there are also battlefields, lakeshores, seashores …
