We save and share New England’s past to engage and inform present and future generations.

Historic New England is one of the most comprehensive independent preservation organizations in the United States. We welcome the public to thirty-eight exceptional museums and landscapes, operate a major collections and archives center, and protect 126 privately owned historic properties in the region through a preservation easement program.

We engage diverse audiences in developing a deeper understanding and enjoyment of New England home life by being the national leader in collecting, preserving, and using significant buildings, landscapes, archives, stories, and objects from the past to today.
