Dear Preservation Supporter,

It’s not every day that you see someone show you the skeletons in the
attic—literally. But it’s not every day that you get to join a live virtual tour
of the attic of one of the grandest historic homes in the country, either.

Yet that’s exactly what I did on Friday, when I joined Trish Smith, curator of
Historic Architectural Resources, on a tour of the attic of Drayton Hall [[link removed]] , a National Trust Historic Site in Charleston, South Carolina. The engaging
curator showed us everything from the home’s scribe rule framing—which she
likened to assembling Ikea furniture—to the skeletal remains of creatures who’d
found their way into the attic over the years.

Today is Day 12 of Virtual Preservation Month
[[link removed]] , which features 31 days of free online experiences for those who love historic
places but can’t enjoy them in person right now. In fact, thousands of people
have signed up to receive daily emails or texts alerting them to each experience
as it’s unlocked.

Why don’t you join them? You can sign up here.

We’ve assembled a dynamic lineup of virtual events for you. Tomorrow, for
example, you’ll be transported to the English-inspired gardens of Filoli,
another National Trust Historic Site, to see the flowers in bloom this spring.
Next week, you can join a live culinary history conversation focused on
artichokes in the Salinas Valley at another National Trust site, Cooper Molera
Adobe in Monterey, California. Towards the end of the month, you’ll be treated
to a Q&A with actress and preservation champion Phylicia Rashad.

Virtual Preservation Month shows why historic places nourish the spirit and stir
the imagination. Preservation gives us stunning architecture and beautiful
landscapes. Preservation tells us stories of courage and resilience. And
preservation saves the cultural heritage of the nation. All are desperately
needed during this challenging period in our history.

I hope you’ll join me for the rest of Virtual Preservation Month.
[[link removed]] Please stay safe.

Sincerely,


Geoff Handy
Chief Marketing Officer
