Built in the 1960s

John Kennedy took office in 1961 and Lyndon Johnson served from 1963 to 1969. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed while the war in Vietnam widened. Congress passed the National Historic Preservation Act in 1966, which created the National Register itself, and Apollo 11 landed in 1969.

153 places on the National Register have a construction year in the 1960s on record. They stand in 45 states and territories. 12 are National Historic Landmarks.
