The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites: Rediscovering America’s Heritage

The Heritage Foundation released The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites on October 25, 2025, as part of the observance for America’s 250th birthday in 2026. This Guide evaluates museums, battlefields, and historic homes that define the American story. While these sites offer a way to revisit national identity, the World Monuments Fund warns that such irreplaceable US heritage sites are currently under threat, emphasizing that these locations cannot be recreated once they are gone.
