Our Mission

The King's Highway Trust Foundation preserves and shares the stories, places, people, and creative voices that shape our communities. Through documentary film, historic preservation, oral histories, educational media, arts and cultural programming, books, public events, and community partnerships, we help make history and culture accessible to people of all ages.

Our work connects preservation with public education, creating opportunities for communities to learn from the past, experience meaningful stories, and give new voices and ideas a platform.
