Here are Johnston properties currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places We learned recently that Smithfield's historic Hastings House is, at last, eligible for the U.S. National Park Service's official list of "historic places worthy of preservation," although National Register designation alone doesn't guarantee that these properties will be preserved! The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources maintains an online list of Tar Heel properties on the National Register that includes not only names and locations but also links to PDFs and maps giving details about them.
