What Listing Actually Means Here

8 of the town's inventoried resources are on the National Register, an honour that, for a private owner, restricts almost nothing. No local historic district binds owners here. The inventory maps 3 historic areas in town: D. A. R. State Forest - Highland Lakes; Mountain Rest; Goshen Town Hall.
