Derby History Quiz
Derby is celebrating its 325th in 2000, and five things to celebrate are Derby's sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

After this quiz was first posted and ended, the National Register added one more Derby location to the Register. The Birmingham Green Historic District was added to the Registry on April 21, 2000.
