Dade Heritage Trust

Preserving Miami-Dade County’s architectural, environmental, and cultural heritage through education and advocacy.

Founded in 1972, Dade Heritage Trust is Miami-Dade County’s largest preservation organization. Our mission is to preserve Miami-Dade County’s architectural, environmental, and cultural heritage through education and advocacy.

We are located in the 1905 original office of Dr. James Jackson, Miami’s first physician.

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Dade Heritage Trust is an Official Heritage Tourism Visitors Center, supported by Miami DDA,    the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs.  Stop by DHT for publications and information regarding heritage tourism and all of our community’s fascinating attractions.

With our lovingly landscaped grounds filled with native plants, DHT is a partner in Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Connect to Protect program.  We host a Free Little Library on site, and we are designated as a Bike Friendly Business by the American League of Bicyclists.             DHT is also a member of the Southeastern Reciprocal Museum Membership Program.

Dade Heritage Trust publishes Preservation Today Magazine on an annual basis. The magazine highlights DHT initiatives and the valuable preservation work being done by individuals, organizations, and businesses throughout our community.
