Whenever a historic building is demolished or allowed to deteriorate,
a part of the nation’s past is also in danger of disappearing forever.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) is dedicated to
protecting these irreplaceable places that tell America’s story.
Founded in 1949 and headquartered in Washington, DC, the NTHP
is a private, nonprofit organization with over 270,000 members.
The National Trust provides leadership, education, advocacy and
resources to people and organizations across the country working
to preserve the nation’s heritage.
The NTHP owns and manages Farnsworth House
™
as one of its
29 National Trust Historic Sites, and has been instrumental in
coordinating the careful restoration of the building after it was badly
damaged by flooding in 2008.
