There are sixteen others. Some may be sites of national importance, which might have been NHL-eligible but, as state-owned and -administered sites, may have had lessened need for additional protection. Others may be of state-level but not national importance.

Famous quotes containing the words state, historic, designated, national and/or landmarks:

    “The twelve Cells for Incorrigibles ... are also carved out of the solid rock hill. On the walls of one of the cells human “liberty” is clearly inscribed, with the “liberty” in significant quotation marks.”
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity. What we call “history” by no means represents the sum total of all significant deeds.... World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “The values to which the conservative appeals are inevitably caricatured by the individuals designated to put them into practice.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)

    “While I do not think it was so intended I have always been of the opinion that this turned out to be much the best for me. I had no national experience. What I have ever been able to do has been the result of first learning how to do it. I am not gifted with intuition. I need not only hard work but experience to be ready to solve problems. The Presidents who have gone to Washington without first having held some national office have been at great disadvantage.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
