Oatlands was given to the public by the Eustis family in 1965 and has been open to the public since 1966. We honor their generosity and the philanthropic support of many more over the past five decades.

What is a National Historic Landmark?
National Historic Landmarks (NHLs) are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Today, just over 2,500 historic places bear this national distinction.
What is the National Trust for Historic Preservation?
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a privately funded nonprofit organization, works to save America’s historic places.
Chartered by Congress in 1949, the organization is now supported entirely by private contributions. We take direct on-the-ground action when historic buildings and sites are threatened. Our work helps build vibrant, sustainable communities. We advocate with governments to save America’s heritage. We strive to create a cultural legacy as diverse as the nation itself so that all of us can take pride in our part of the American story.
Thanks to more than 300,000 members and supporters, and partnerships with hundreds of preservation organizations from coast to coast, the National Trust is recognized as the leader of the historic preservation movement in the United States.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation:
- Provides cutting-edge leadership on pressing preservation priorities.
- Operates a network of historic sites.
- Advocates with governments to save America’s heritage.
- Provides leadership, education and resources to preservation leaders and grassroots advocates nationwide.
