HISTORIC SITES COALITION OF RHODE ISLAND

Responding to the needs of over 80 stewards of Rhode Island's historic sites, PRI created a network of colleagues who share common challenges in sustaining historic places that are open to the public.

The preservation of historic sites presents a stewardship and fundraising challenge for organizations that have little staff or are operated entirely by volunteers. Many historic sites operate independently, unaware of the ventures of neighboring sites, even as they face similar challenges with visitation, funding, programming and staffing. Established in 2007, the goal of this Coalition is to bring together stewards of historic sites from around the state and to encourage cross-promotion, sharing of resources, and exchanging ideas and best practices to advance their sustainability.
