1967-2017
Nineteen sixty-seven was a significant year in the cause of saving our state’s great heritage. That year marked the creation of the New Jersey Historic Trust and its mission to save the historic built environment, the creation of the New Jersey Historical Commission and its mission to support scholarship and appreciation of the Garden State’s history, and the Historic Sites Council with its charge to review the impact of proposed projects encroaching on properties listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places. These three agencies have the set the “gold” standard for building a place for history in every New Jersey community.
