Cultural Custodians: How America's Collections Preserve and Propel

January 25, 5PM - 6PM

Join us for an enlightening discussion as a distinguished panel of experts from The National Trust for Historic Preservation and renowned guests delve into the profound role of historic collections in shaping our understanding of the past. In this conversation to mark the Trust’s 75th Anniversary, we will explore the intersection of fine and decorative arts with historic architecture, examining how these artifacts—whether housed in iconic landmarks or private historic homes-tell the rich, layered stories of America’s cultural heritage. Moderated by Ellen McGauley of Veranda Magazine, this session will shed light on the unique power of these objects to not only preserve history but also inspire new perspectives on our shared legacy. Through compelling examples of art and artifacts at historic sites, we’ll discover how every piece contributes to a larger narrative, urging us to reflect on our collective responsibility as caretakers of these irreplaceable treasures.
