New Jersey Historic Trust

**About the Trust** The New Jersey Historic Trust was created by law in 1967 to preserve New Jersey's historic resources across the state. **The Mission of the Historic Trust** The New Jersey Historic Trust advances historic preservation for the benefit of the state’s diverse population today and for its future generations. Through its education, tourism, stewardship, and financial investment programs, the Trust saves New Jersey’s heritage and strengthens its communities. In order to present a fuller understanding of our heritage, the Historic Trust actively supports the discovery, preservation, and appreciation of the tangible remains of history that have been previously under-represented in the historical record. The Historic Trust seeks to achieve its mission by serving as: - A leading voice for preservation at the state level - A catalyst for preservation and community revitalization activities - A full partner in state policy development - A technical and financial resource for the stewardship of historic properties.
