About Us

Woodlawn, a National Trust Historic Site and National Historic Landmark, is owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a private, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to saving historic places and revitalizing America’s communities.

We have a small, full-time professional staff and approximately 40 part-time volunteers, who work in all aspects of the site’s operations. Woodlawn shares its advisory board, as well as its site, with Frank Lloyd Wright’s Pope-Leighey House. The Advisory Board is appointed by the President of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and supports the site’s growth and success through community relations; advocacy; fundraising and implementation of the site’s strategic plan.
