Preserving Fort Chadbourne will sustain the texture and richness of part our heritage for generations to come. The remains of old buildings at Fort Chadbourne are the actual buildings built by the dreams and hands of our ancestors and can be seen and touched by generations of the future if we protect them now. Seeing and touching these old buildings, stirs in us a sense of being someplace, someplace that is part of our memory. The unhurried eye can feast on the detail and variety of this gift from our history and see some of the detail of our national experience. Preservation strengthens our knowledge and makes for a more orderly growth and change toward our future.
Preservation maintains the continuity of society's purposes over time.
We can form a perpetual partnership with our past, our present and our future through the preservation of resources like Fort Chadbourne's. The records and history of the fort and its people are scattered. As time goes on, the stories and the memory of this place will become even more faded unless something is done now. The Fort Chadbourne Foundation is dedicated to bringing as much of this history as possible together in one location, making it more accessible and protected. Fort Chadbourne Foundation will preserve the historic site and build a museum to house the exhibits containing the artifacts and history of fort Chadbourne.
