The Preservation Trust of Vermont a charitable, nonprofit organization founded in 1980 to initiate, stimulate and assist local and statewide efforts to preserve and use Vermont's rich collection of historic, architectural cultural and community resources. Generous financial support from individuals, foundations and businesses enables us to help through planning grants, technical assistance, preservation grants, and a variety of educational tools. Much of this work is in partnership with local organizations, communities and individual Vermonters who are actively working to protect and restore significant historic properties, downtowns and community centers.

The Preservation Education Institute is a division of Historic Windsor, Inc. Formed in 1982 to provide training in historic preservation skills for building professionals, its mission has expanded to provide training for property owners, preservation professionals, and people who "love old buildings."

The Vermont Historical Society is a not-for-profit, membership-supported organization which collects artifacts, books, and documents that reflect the entire history of the state, every geographical area, and every chronological period.
