Youth Education
 One of the AHPP's priorities is to instill a preservation ethic in Arkansas's young people. In school, students learn about historic sites such as the White House and the Great Wall of China, but little focus has been directed to the historic sites and buildings that surround Arkansas students on a daily basis. Every Arkansas community possesses landmark structures and sites that make excellent teaching tools.
Students need to learn the history and importance of local and statewide historic places. This knowledge will promote civic pride, and open their eyes to the wonders of the built environment.
By using Arkansas's historic and cultural sites as topics for teaching, students will gain a better understanding of their communities and themselves.
For a list of properties in your community that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, go to the Historic Properties page of this website and click on National Register of Historic Places to search the database by county, town or property name.
