Dartmouth Heritage Preservation Trust

Dartmouth Heritage Preservation Trust

The Dartmouth Heritage Preservation Trust, Inc, was founded in March 2007 to preserve remnants of Dartmouth’s rich past and educate the public as to the importance of their town’s heritage. A board of directors and volunteers govern and manage this small grass roots organization.
