The Bermuda National Trust (BNT) is a charitable organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Bermuda’s unique natural, architectural, and cultural heritage. Founded in 1970, succeeding the Bermuda Historical Monuments Trust (1937–1970), the BNT works to protect the island’s treasures for future generations through preservation, education, and advocacy. It manages 82 properties spanning 250 acres, including historic houses, museums, gardens, cemeteries, nature reserves, and coastline, showcasing Bermuda’s rich history and biodiversity.
The Trust operates three museums—Bermuda National Trust Museum, Tucker House Museum, and Verdmont Museum—displaying artifacts that trace Bermuda’s development, from early settlement to its role in the U.S. Civil War. Its education programs, including student tours, summer camps, and publications, foster public appreciation of the island’s heritage. The BNT also hosts events like the Palm Sunday Walk and Christmas Walkabout, engaging thousands in celebrating Bermuda’s history.
Governed by a 13-member council, the BNT collaborates with organizations like the Bermuda Audubon Society and has reciprocal agreements with global heritage groups, allowing members access to sites worldwide. Headquartered at Waterville, a historic 18th-century estate, the Trust relies on memberships, donations, and volunteers to sustain its mission.
