The list includes monuments, grand estates, and for the first time, an entire community, Lana'i City.

This is the first year in which DLNR's State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) and the Historic Hawai'i Foundation (HHF) collaboratively compiled the list. HHF sought nominations from the community, and worked with SHPD staff to select the sites.

"The final list represents the history of our community, and includes sites that are threatened by, among other things, neglect, insufficient funding, and development," said Young, who also serves as DLNR chairperson.

While inclusion on the list does not automatically protect or preserve the sites, it is hoped that the list will raise public awareness, and inspire the community to take action.

Included on the list is the Walker Estate, the Queen Theater in Kaimuki, the plantation manager's mansion in 'Ewa Villages, Koke'e State Park on Kaua'i, Gulick-Powell House on Kaua'i, Pu'unene Congregational Church on Maui, and the Mapulehu Glass House on Moloka'i.
