Help us identify the state's most threatened historic places by making a nomination to the 2027 Louisiana's Most Endangered Places (MEP) list.

LTHP's Most Endangered Places list raises public awareness of historic properties across the state that face threats such as neglect, deterioration, demolition, or redevelopment.

The list is designed to bring attention to places at risk, encourage community involvement, and build support for their preservation. By highlighting these resources, we help spark conversations, connect concerned citizens with preservation opportunities, and encourage property owners, local leaders, and communities to take action before these important pieces of Louisiana's history are lost.

The goal is to help inspire solutions that give these irreplaceable historic places a future.

Visit our website to explore the MEP database—including the sites that have been lost, saved, are in progress, or are still threatened—and make a nomination today:
𝗟𝗧𝗛𝗣 𝗱𝗼𝘁 𝗢𝗥𝗚 > 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 > 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀.

Nominations will be accepted online through February 8, 2027.

Congress and a federal agency are threatening to weaken the country's historic preservation law, fueling a backlash that critics say is as fiery as the one that led to the law's creation 60 years ago.

10/16/2026

Today, the National Historic Preservation Act marks its 60th anniversary. While this milestone is to be celebrated, it comes at a time when there are two separate threats facing critical components of this essential preservation law.

Both threats seek to upend and make optional the voice of the public in these processes.
