Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County
The Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County exists to preserve and protect historically significant buildings and places in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, so as to insure that the County's rich heritage and unique character, which contribute to its livability, economic well being and quality of life, are passed on to future generations.
The Historic Preservation Trust was established in 1966 to help, "stem the rapid destruction of historic properties in Lancaster County." Through the years, the Trust has been active in helping preserve many historic properties in Lancaster County that contribute to their respective communities as special places for people to live and work. We believe that "historic preservation not only pays its own way but enriches lives as it saves the past."
Today, the Trust helps promote historic preservation as a viable alternative through preservation education, advocacy, and action. From direct property acquisition and restoration, public and private partnerships, preservation consulting, legislative advocacy, and maintaining an archive of historic properties, to offering popular educational events, the Trust continues to be an effective force in helping preserve Lancaster County’s architectural resources for current and future generations.
