Virginia Landmarks Register
The Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR) is a list of historic properties in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The state's official list of important historic sites, it was created in 1965,[2] by the General Assembly in the Code of Virginia.[2] The Register serves the same purpose as the National Register of Historic Places. The nomination form for any Virginia site listed on the VLR is sent forward to the National Park Service for consideration for listing on the National Register.[1]
The Virginia Landmarks Register is maintained by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.[2]
