Georgia’s Most Endangered Historic Places

NOMINATE A SITE

Saving Historic Sites

The Georgia Trust’s Places in Peril program seeks to identify and preserve historic sites threatened by demolition, neglect, lack of maintenance, inappropriate development or insensitive public policy.

The list raises awareness about Georgia’s significant historic, archaeological and cultural resources, including buildings, structures, districts, archaeological sites and cultural landscapes.

Nomination Process

In our 20th year of Places in Peril, we at the Georgia Trust have made some changes to this signature program. As advocates for Georgia’s rich built and cultural heritage, we’re constantly evolving to better serve our communities. These changes reflect our commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and adaptability as we continue our mission to preserve and protect Georgia’s diverse historic resources.

Simplified Nomination Process: We’ve made it easier than ever to nominate a Place in Peril. Now, anyone can easily nominate a site that holds significance to them and their community through a simple online nomination form.

Rolling Nominations: Goodbye deadlines, hello flexibility! We have introduced rolling nominations, allowing submissions throughout the year. Have a site in mind? You can now nominate it at any time! Just remember, for consideration in next year’s list, nominations must be made by September 1st. If the threat is more urgent than our annual listing, we still encourage you to submit the site through this process, indicating the timeframe, and we will determine how we can best help.

Timeline: The Places in Peril list is now announced each year in February. Nominations received through September 1, 2025 will be considered for the 2026 Places in Peril list. Nominations received after that date will be considered for 2027.
