does anyone know how to nominate a place to be a historical landmark?

Answer 1

If you think it can be designated a national historical landmark, check out this site. It has details on nominations with the specific requirements included.

Otherwise, check out your local historical society and see if they would be interested in nominating a site to be protected.

Answer 2

People also can make the place a historical landmark. Take for example the early Rumanians settler in Singapore. This very small community brought with them the memories and culture, so their only remaining church has given special meaning to the landmark. It is alwaysbegin with the people .
