Our Mission
Norwalk Preservation
Norwalk Preservation Trust’s mission is to protect Norwalk’s irreplaceable historic buildings and neighborhoods, landscapes and streetscapes, by raising awareness and taking appropriate action when necessary.
The properties around us are an important part of understanding the history of our community. This common heritage is what gives Norwalk its unique character. NPT works to preserve that character and retain our visible history.
We fulfill this mission through advocacy and education, including public events like tours and workshops. We are a voice for preservation and an information resource for homeowners, residents, businesses, and developers, as well as city, state, and national organizations and government agencies. We believe that Norwalk’s historic environment and architectural heritage should be a living part of our community.
