List of Historic Artists' Homes and Studios sites

Historic Artists' Homes and Studios (HAHS) is a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) dedicated to "telling a site-specific story of [the United States of America's] art history". HAHS sites fall under two categories: Member Sites and Affiliate Sites. Member Sites are fully or partially operated by the NTHP and operate as museums open to the public. Affiliate Sites are sites in early development or working towards being operated as public museums. The NTHP states that affiliate sites "may not operate as traditional house museums or be regularly open for public visitation". As of 2026, there are 93 Member Sites and 32 Affiliate Sites in the HAHS program.

Many sites in the HAHS program, such as Olana State Historic Site (pictured) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and/or designated National Historic Landmarks.
