brought together those
interested in National Historic Landmarks and highlighted their
common interests and needs. Stewards - the owners, managers and
friends of private and public NHLs - worked together toward the
formation of this new organization. The National Historic Landmark
Stewards Association (NHLSA) held it premier meeting in Philadelphia
in November 2000.
The name of the organization
emphasizes the role that owners and managers play as the caretakers
of the nation's most significant properties. While there are numerous
preservation organizations that advocate for and preserve historic
properties, this is the first national organization made up of
historic property owners and managers. These are the individuals
who are directly responsible for the care of NHLs.
The
Mission of the NHLSA
The National Historic Landmark Stewards Association is dedicated
to the protection, education, preservation, and promotion of historic
resources that possess national significance. Recognized as the
preeminent collection of historic properties, National Historic
Landmarks possess exceptional value and quality in illustrating
and interpreting the heritage of the United States.
