The county's National Historic Landmark Districts and National Register properties, as well as our villages, boroughs and city are important historic landscapes. Continued preservation of these resources is a high priority. Development within or adjacent to historic resources should apply context-sensitive design to integrate with distinctive cultural features. View map
