Again, this group does not include anything that presently has a category. This group is pointed at the cracks between the other categories.
the current description is as follows.
There are other categories that cover state and national parks and other major places. This group is for those that are small in nature and managed by smaller groups such as State Historical Societies, local Historical Societies or possibly Genealogy groups.
There must be a physical building or something that still exists today.
Signs of History, Historical Markers, etc in them selves do not count. A sign or marker that says that “John and Mary were married here” would not be included. BUT, if the building or structure was still there AND it was being managed or taken care of by an identifiable person or group then it would count.
One example of a historical site that would be included would be the Confederate Reunion Grounds State Historic Site http://www.thc.state.tx.us/hsites/hs_conf_reunion.aspx?Site=Confed This was once a State Park but it is now managed by the State Historical Commission. In this case there are active actions going on at the site.
Local Historical Society quite often will manage “John Smith’s home” , In this case the house must be available for tours, at least by appointment.
