The National Register of Historic Places recognizes both public and private resources associated with our nation’s history. The West Virginia State Historic Preservation Office is pleased to highlight some of the historic resources in West Virginia which are associated with black history and which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This list showcases only those sites which are listed individually. There are other sites which are listed as part of larger nominations, such as historic districts. And, there are other sites related to African American history which have not been listed.
We invite you to review the list that we have compiled and we encourage you, if you know of a site that should be considered, to research our site and learn more about how you can nominate a site for the National Register.Barnett Hospital and Nursing School, Huntington, Cabell County
