Welcome to the Bermuda National Trust

The Bermuda National Trust is a charity, established in 1970 to preserve natural, architectural and historic treasures and to encourage public appreciation of them. Its forerunner was the Bermuda Historical Monuments Trust, working in conservation from 1937 to 1970.

The Trust's programmes and activities are focused in the key areas of preservation, education and advocacy. Its purpose is to ensure that Bermuda’s unique heritage remains protected for future generations.

In the National Trust's care are 82 properties, covering some 277 acres and representing much of the best of Bermuda's heritage – a rich variety of traditional historic houses, islands, gardens, cemeteries, nature reserves and coastline. In addition, three museums display an outstanding collection of artefacts owned and made by Bermudians, telling the intriguing story of the island's development.

The Trust has a strong education programme, focused on encouraging appreciation of our history and what it means to our future. We are also a leading advocate and activist for Bermuda's natural environment.

Mission of the organisation:

To protect and promote Bermuda’s unique natural and cultural heritage forever, by:

•acquiring and conserving land, buildings and artefacts;
