Bermuda National Trust, Conservation organization in Hamilton, Bermuda.
The Bermuda National Trust is a conservation organization managing 82 properties spread across the island, including historic houses, gardens, nature reserves, and sections of coastline. These properties together cover about 250 acres and are cared for to preserve them for visitors and future generations.
Founded in 1970, this organization succeeded the Bermuda Historical Monuments Trust, which had protected the island's architectural heritage beginning in 1937. The transition expanded the scope to care for more types of locations and natural areas.
The three museums run by this organization display collections of objects made by Bermudians across different historical periods. Visitors see everyday items and artwork that tell the story of the people who lived on the island.
Members receive access to partner facilities through reciprocal agreements with heritage organizations across multiple regions. This allows visitors to benefit from a network of museums and sites beyond the island.
The organization is governed by a 13-member council drawn from different sources. Five members are elected by the organization's members, five are appointed by founding organizations, and three are nominated by the government.
