An Analysis of the Evolution of Theory and Management in the Trustees of Reservations Abstract The history of historic preservation in the United States is still being written and debated, and several seminal events have been identified as the cathartic moment in which the United States awoke to take stock of and appreciate its collective natural and historic treasure. However, there is little consensus as to which event is most representative of when the preservation movement gained a foothold in America, and became a conscious field of study and activism. Some experts trace the first empowered moments of preservation to the work of the Mount Vernon Ladies Association of the Union, who successfully purchased and stewarded Washington's home following the refusal of the state and national governments to purchase the property.
