The Preservation Trust of Vermont was founded with the goal of helping Vermonters save their historic places. The group has helped communities across the state save more than 1,000 buildings – village stores, post offices, schools, barns—all returned to productive use. Through partnerships with legislators, foundations, businesses and individual donors, the Trust is able to provide much-needed grants to support preservation projects with an emphasis on revitalizing Vermont’s downtowns and village centers.
