On This Page

Historic resources are protected in Saint Paul as designated historic sites (often a single property), or as designated historic districts (often a collection of properties and public spaces that are together historically significant). Those sites and districts can be created at the local level (by the City of Saint Paul), created at the state level (by the State Historic Preservation Office) or created at a national level (by the US Department of the Interior).

The map directly below combines these categorizations, and is designed to display all types of designated districts and sites in the City of Saint Paul.
