In Canada, National Historic Sites (French: Lieux historiques nationaux du Canada) are places that the government has decided are important in Canada's history. Many are managed by Parks Canada, the same organization that runs Canada's national parks. Many of the sites have been restored to their original form after many years of being left alone to fall apart.[1][2][3]
