The Dade Heritage Trust was founded in 1972. It is Miami-Dade County's largest preservation organization. According to them "Our mission is to preserve Miami-Dade County's architectural, environmental, and cultural heritage through preservation, education and advocacy efforts." They are located in the 1905 original office of the first physician of Miami, Dr. James Jackson.
An interesting service they offer is helping people to purchase historic homes. They currently have a 1923 property listed in Coral Gables that is my dream home except it is missing a pool in the courtyard. Next time I win the lottery I am definitely hitting them up on that.
The Dade Heritage Trust also offers programs including Brickell Walks and Talks, Urban Miami Bike Tours, and Baking in Historic Places. Everything is on hold now at least until the Fall.
If you become a member you get free admission to all members only events, advance notice and registration for workshops and seminars, discounts on the walking and bicycle tours, and free admission to over 75 museums and participating institutions.
The Miami Dade Trust loves all of the things I love. They have been instrumental in preserving many historic buildings in Miami. I comb through their list of most endangered sites so I can visit them in case they are lost forever. I can't wait to take some tours with them when they resume.
