Old places are where our lives, memories, and stories began. They connect us to the past, anchor us to the present, and lead us into the future. These places inspire us to create a stronger nation, because they belong to all of us.
For more than 70 years, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has led the movement to save America’s historic places. A privately funded nonprofit organization, we work to save America's historic sites; tell the full American story; build stronger communities; and invest in preservation's future.
Sign up here to join our email list and receive updates about the places we’re protecting. Visit our website, SavingPlaces.org, to discover historic places online and near you. You can also stay connected through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
We work tirelessly to protect the irreplaceable, from advocating for historic preservation to directly saving historic places. Whether funding grants to safeguard places, engaging young people in preservation projects, reinterpreting sites to reflect more people's experiences, or supporting other efforts—your generosity enables us to save places that tell the full American story.
