30th Anniversary Founders Award Dinner
Mark your calendar for a celebration 30 years in the making. The Historic House Trust’s 2019 Founders Award Dinner will honor the six former Chairs of the organization: Timothy C. Forbes, Cynthia C. Wainwright, Robert Quinlan, Deborah Krulewitch, Franny Eberhart, and John C. Gustafsson. Together, these exemplary leaders have dedicated 30 years of passion and purpose to the preservation of 23 significant historic sites in all five boroughs. We hope you will join us in toasting their impeccable leadership and timeless achievements, which continue to provide enduring value to many of New York City’s greatest historic treasures.

Support Our Annual Campaign
The Historic House Trust is so much more than a collection of houses. Our sites are beacons of their communities and portals into history. They remind us of the momentous events that shaped New York City and the passionate people who have fueled its legendary energy, from the Lenape tribes who settled the shores to you reading this letter today. We love that HHT’s 23 houses challenge us to find new and engaging ways to speak about this shared history, the changing city, the conflicts we have weathered, and the issues we struggle with today. Your donation ensures that these sites are preserved and continue to serve their communities.
