Preservation Month 2025

Harnessing The Power of Place

There is no denying the role preservationists play in protecting historic spaces while meeting the needs of communities for the present and the future. This May, for Preservation Month, we’re celebrating the power of place—and the countless ways, big and small, that preservation creates. The work you do strengthens communities, breathes new life into neighborhoods, supports a healthier planet, and builds a more just and connected society.

Preservation Month is your chance to show why this work matters. It’s an opportunity to share the impact you’re making—how places you protect spark joy, inspire wonder, and connect us to our shared history in ways that shape our future.

Share how you’re celebrating with your peers around the country by joining the National Trust’s LinkedIn Group and posting information about your Preservation Month activities!
