Yes, a classic one, and I am offering Ahn the choice:

USAGE NOTE: Historic and historical have different usages, though their senses overlap. Historic refers to what is important in history: the historic first voyage to the moon. It is also used of what is famous or interesting because of its association with persons or events in history: a historic house
