Miami-Dade County Designated Historic Sites

The preservation of historically significant structures, settings and locations is significantly aided by historic landmark designation, which can protect buildings and sites from alteration and demolition. The County currently oversees 141 individually designated historic sites, 46 archaeological sites and zones and eight historic districts and facilitates preservation initiatives for 24 municipalities without separate preservation programs.

The office surveys and identifies eligible sites and prepares the research for designation submittal and continues efforts to do public outreach and education on our community’s rich heritage.
