Nothing in Euclid is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Euclid has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Red River Trail: Goose Lake Swamp Section in Polk Centre, 9.5 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.
2Try a local or state list firstMany states keep their own register with a shorter form, a common first step for old barns, halls and schoolhouses.
3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. Red River Trail: Goose Lake Swamp Section’s page links to a real one.
Know an old place in Euclid?A mill, a schoolhouse, a cellar hole, a church: add a photo of it to Euclid’s story, or a memory of it.
