MISSIONThe Historic Trust inspires civic pride and economic vitality through education, preservation, and celebration of our community's history.The Fort Vancouver National Trust announced a rebrand in 2017. It renamed itself The Historic Trust, with a tagline, "Celebrating history. Inspiring tomorrow." This renewal of the organization was a direct result of its success over the previous 19 years in the preservation and management of properties on the Fort Vancouver Historic Site.New and innovative programming plays a key role in redefining The Historic Trust. The Board of Directors' strategic plan includes a robust initiative to engage adults and families and offers more tours, military history talks, lectures, and volunteer opportunities. The curriculum at Pearson Field Education Center is gaining ground as a gateway for kids to embrace STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects through aviation.The Historic Trust continues to be innovative and entrepreneurial in the production of annual community events identified within its Celebrate Freedom program, including the Marshall Lecture and Awards, Flag Day Ceremony, Veterans Parade, and Independence Day at Fort Vancouver. Our community has a patriotic spirit that springs from its military history. The Historic Trust is committed to forming new partnerships, and strengthening current ones, in an effort to collaboratively provide the kinds of celebrations and observances that bring people together.Through a master lease with the City of Vancouver established in 2006, the Trust has maintained and preserved the city-owned Officers Row and West Vancouver Barracks historic properties, and managed all residential and commercial leases in those buildings. This oversight will continue. This core strength and aptitude of preservation and management has expanded to the Providence Academy. Acquired by the Trust in 2015, ownership of the Academy broadens the Trust's interests and connects it to downtown.
