Criteria for Inclusion

The National Register of Historic Places definition of “historic place” is used to explain the types of properties that may be included in the list of Arkansas’s Most Endangered Historic Places: districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture.

To be included in the list of Arkansas’s Most Endangered Historic Places, a property:

  • Must be listed in the National Register or Arkansas Register of Historic Places or be eligible for listing, as determined by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, or must represent an important aspect of Arkansas’s cultural heritage.
  • Must have national, statewide, or local significance. Properties of national and statewide significance generally will have preference, but locally significant properties also will be given full consideration.
  • Must obviously be threatened. The threat may be neglect, plans that call for the property’s demolition, or other circumstances that clearly threaten the property’s continued existence. The imminence and degree of threats that exist will be important factors in determining whether a property should be included in the list.

Announcement

The list of Arkansas’s Most Endangered Historic Places will be announced during our statewide preservation conference, October 21-23, 2026, in Hot Springs. The list will be shared with statewide news media via press release to raise awareness of the properties, their significance, and the threats facing each one. The Most Endangered Places List will also be shared through Preserve Arkansas’s email list and social media channels.
