This is Historic! Join or Renew Your Preservation Action Membership this Summer!
2026 is a year of milestones. As the nation marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the preservation movement celebrates an extraordinary confluence of anniversaries of its own:
- The 50th anniversary of the Historic Preservation Fund
- The 50th anniversary of the Federal Historic Tax Credit
- The 60th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act
These milestones didn’t happen by accident — they’re the result of decades of advocates showing up, speaking out, and fighting for the policies that protect the places that tell America’s story. Preservation Action has been at the center of that work since 1974, and we need your voice now more than ever to ensure these vital programs remain strong for the next 50 years and beyond.
Join us this summer as we commemorate these milestones and recommit to the work ahead. For less than $5 a month, your Preservation Action membership fuels our advocacy on Capitol Hill, keeps preservation policy on the national agenda, and ensures that programs like the Historic Preservation Fund and Historic Tax Credit continue to protect the historic places that define our communities. Whether you’re renewing your commitment or joining for the first time, your membership is a direct investment in the future of America’s heritage. Don’t wait — become a member today and help us carry this momentum forward.
