Our mission is to discover, protect, and re-vitalize the architectural and related cultural heritage of the Rochester region, and to educated and inform our community about that heritage.

Description:
The Landmark Society of Western New York, is one of the oldest and most active preservation organizations in America. It is a not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to preserving, interpreting and fostering interest in the architectural, historical and cultural heritage of our region. The Landmark Society's service area covers nine Western New York counties.

History:
The Landmark Society was organized in 1937, preceding by ten years the founding of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, of which it is a charter member. Helen Ellwanger led a group of volunteers in founding an organization to protect and preserve the Campbell-Whittlesey mansion. Built on this modest foundation, the Landmark Society has grown into a museum and preservation organization with a state and national reputation.
