Historic areas of the National Park System in Ohio

National Historic Sites, National Historic Parks, National Memorials, and certain other areas listed in the National Park system are historic landmarks of national importance that are highly protected already, sometimes before the inauguration of the NHL program in 1960, and are then often not also named NHLs per se. There are seven of these in Ohio. The National Park Service lists these seven together with the NHLs in the state.[10]

The James A. Garfield National Historic Site, the William Howard Taft National Historic Site, and the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument are also designated as NHLs and are listed above. The remaining four are as follows.

	Landmark name	Image	Date established[11]	Location	County	Description
1	Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park		October 16, 1992	Dayton, Ohio		Includes the Huffman Prairie Flying Field, Wright Cycle Company building, 1905 Wright Flyer III, Paul Laurence Dunbar State Memorial, and Hawthorn Hill NHLs
