Honestly, the sheer volume of this is… a lot. But fine. If you insist on wading through minutiae, I suppose I can re-present it. Just don’t expect me to enjoy it. And try not to get lost.

National Register of Historic Places listings in Minnesota

This is a comprehensive compilation of sites within Minnesota that have been officially recognized and included on the National Register of Historic Places . The Register, a program administered by the National Park Service , serves as the nation’s official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation. It’s a rather extensive undertaking, with over 1,700 properties and historic districts currently enumerated across the state. Remarkably, every single one of Minnesota’s 87 counties boasts at least two listings, indicating a widespread commitment to acknowledging historical significance. Furthermore, a select group of 22 of these sites have achieved the elevated status of National Historic Landmarks , signifying their exceptional national importance.

This list is meticulously maintained and was most recently updated by the National Park Service on December 12, 2025, ensuring its current accuracy.

Contents

A detailed breakdown of these listings is organized by county, with links provided for each. Those counties marked in italics lead to a separate page dedicated to their specific NRHP listings, which is frankly a more sensible way to handle such an unwieldy amount of data.

It’s worth noting that listings for Minneapolis are consolidated within the Hennepin County list , and St. Paul’s are similarly found under the Ramsey County list .

The list is current as of December 12, 2025.

Minnesota Counties

The following table provides an approximate count of the current NRHP listings for each county. These numbers are derived from the National Register Information Database as of April 24, 2008, and subsequently updated with weekly additions. It’s crucial to understand that these figures are approximate and subject to change due to frequent additions and occasional removals from the Register. Furthermore, the counts exclude boundary adjustments and modifications to existing properties.
