Historic Fort Worth, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to preserving Fort Worth’s unique historic identity through stewardship, education and leadership.

What Does Historic FOrt Worth do?

• Creates urgency through conservation and awareness of historic buildings that are “at risk” for being demolished.

• Educates and advocates for preservation and the benefits of preservation to the public through campaigns, speaking for preservation at public meetings, and offering architecture and cultural tours throughout the year.

• Monitors historic places throughout the city and tries to leverage the right funders, organizations, and neighborhoods to restore those buildings and ensure they have a future.

• Hosts a month-long art show and sale at the Community Arts Center, puts on a decorative arts exhibit of needlepoint works, organizes a garden tour to historic homes in the city. and hosts a 5k, Rodeo Run, in the beginning of the year.

Most Endangered Places List.

One of the most effective tools has been the Most Endangered Places list. Produced annually for the last several years, the list is effective in bringing these endangered places to the attention of new buyers and developers.
