Saving Buildings & Building Community For More than 40 Years
Preservation favors optimists. After all, to preserve a building, gathering space, or community, you need to believe it can be saved and is worth saving.
At the Preservation Trust of Vermont, we are nothing if not optimistic. And we have reason to be. We see the best of Vermont.
In 2024 we worked with community champions across Vermont working to save the buildings that define a sense of place and community. A general store in Strafford. A church building in Canaan. A recovery center in Bennington. Buildings like these have stood the test of time and so has PTV. We believe in Vermont and know that you do too.
As we move into 2025, let’s take the best of Vermont’s past 200 years with us. Please support this work by making a donation today. Happy New Year!
Best,
Ben Doyle
