National Treasures
National Treasures are irreplaceable, critically threatened places across the country where the National Trust for Historic Preservation is making a deep organizational investment. Guided by more than 60 years of experience, the National Trust is taking direct action to protect these places and promote their history and significance, engaging local preservationists to help us advance the cause of preservation nationally.
About its partnership with each National Treasure:
For each National Treasure, the National Trust for Historic Preservation creates coordinated campaigns that tap expert resources across the organization, including preservation, advocacy, legal, marketing and fund-raising. When the National Treasures has met the Trust’s protection goals, the site will rotate out of the active campaign collection to free up resources for a new endangered place.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or treasures:
“You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Oh youth, youth! You don’t worry about anything; you seem to possess all the treasures of the universe—even sorrow gives you pleasure, even grief suits you.... And perhaps the whole secret of your charm lies not in your ability to do everything, but in your ability to think that you will do everything.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
