The National Trust Museum Collection
The National Trust’s remarkable portfolio of historic sites contains a trove of objects that can be interpreted in multiple ways to tell a compelling American story. From the Founding Fathers and the people they enslaved, industrial tycoons and the workers who shaped their empires, artists and the collectors who supported them, to regular citizens who lived, loved, and worked at our sites, our collections illuminate unique, complex stories that add to the patchwork of American history. We will be posting more and more of the collection online over time, but for now explore the National Trust’s objects and online exhibits here.
