The Tennessee Preservation Trust (TPT) is a membership-based statewide non-profit historic preservation education and advocacy organization. Headquartered in Nashville, TPT represents thousands of the state's heritage supporters through its individual members and organizational affiliates. We strive to be the critical link for the state's diverse heritage community. Our organization helps monitor and promote preservation-friendly legislation at the local, state, and federal levels, and assists citizens across the state with advocacy issues pertaining to specific historic sites—as well as historic districts and zoning issues. TPT has a committed staff, an active board of directors, and many dedicated volunteers throughout Tennessee.

Ongoing annual programs range from the Statewide Preservation Conference—enabling hundreds of Tennesseans to learn about tangible ways to protect their heritage—to the Ten in Tennessee List, a yearly roster highlighting the state’s most endangered historic places. In 2003, TPT debuted a State Preservation Awards program.  TPT believes in being accessible to all Tennesseans, and the group tries to hold at least one event in each grand division of the state per year.
