Established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Register of Historic Places identifies and preserves structures important to America’s history.

There are currently more than 93,000 properties across the nation on the list, including the Smith-Carter house, the Tennessee home of country music legend June Carter, and Washington’s Hotel Morck, frequented by the late grunge god Kurt Cobain.

Once a structure is approved to be on the register by an advisory council, owners can qualify for tax breaks, credits, and even federal grants for the preservation and maintenance of these properties. The entire process is overseen by the National Park Service, which maintains a searchable database available to the public and provides step-by-step instructions on how to get a place on the register.

Out of the tens of thousands of addresses currently identified as having national significance, there are less than a hundred available for sale.

We sifted through the history to pinpoint these nine homes on the National Register of Historic Places. They’re all for sale and ready for owners who want to live in a piece of American history.
