OUR OBJECTIVES

TO EDUCATE

We sponsor informative and neighbor friendly gatherings that are educational events for the community. The topics of these eventsrange from nuts and bolts sessions for historic home owners with experts on painting, plastering, and gardening, to fun events, like the summer“trolley” tours to show off Old Town, its history and its architecturalheritage to visitors. The Conservancy has developed a resource library on preservation and restoration of historic homes that ishoused at the Tustin Area Museum on 395 El Camino Real, Old Town Tustin. The Conservancy provides monetary support the City’s Tustin’s Historic Registry plaque program. The Historic Resources Advisory Committee specifies historic homes eligible to display a speciallydesigned plaque indicating the year the structure was built.

TO ADVOCATE

The Tustin Preservation Conservancy advocates for programs that strengthen preservation. We support the City of Tustin maintaining its Certified Local Government status. We support the Historic Overlay District. We support all effort to maintain and preserve historic buildings in the Tustin area. We monitor political issues that could negatively affect the historic district.

TO FACILITATE

Revitalization is happening on every street: We facilitate that by getting homeowners together to share what they have learned from their experiences. For those planning to start renovations, we offer a variety of workshops designed to assist in this process. An additional goal is to get more of our historic homes and structures listed on the National Register.
