Preserving and maintaining historic buildings and grounds, including Rudyard Kipling’s Naulakha. Kipling wrote The Jungle Books, Captains Courageous, and parts of the Just So Stories in the study of Naulakha in Vermont (pictured here). Before Landmark rescued this elegant building, it was abandoned, desperately needing repair, and home to a family of raccoons.
Your donation supports…
Engaging the community with creative place-based educational programming. From fun Open Houses at our properties that connect neighbors with their local history, to innovative student programs integrating with school curricula, to thought provoking webinars on important cultural heritage topics, our programming connects people to the power of preservation.
Your donation supports…
Making upgrades and renovations to our historic properties to better serve our guests and acquiring new properties in need of our attention.

Join Executive Director Susan McMahon for a special 2023 year end greeting and appeal to help us keep our historic homes alive.
While short-term vacation rentals defray a major portion of the operating and maintenance costs of our historic properties, we rely on private gifts to help us address major capital repairs and property improvements. Thanks to our supporters, The Landmark Trust USA has been able to make technological upgrades, including energy-efficient boilers to reduce our carbon footprint.
With your continued generosity, we plan to expand our work and rescue more historic properties that have been neglected and fallen into disrepair.
Your support allows us to offer creative place-based educational programming for the local community – students and adults alike – from Dummerston and beyond. Our school programs have reached more than 7,000 students since 2002.
Each guest who books a vacation rental in one of our beautiful historic properties also gives invaluable support that allows us to continue our important mission work.
Please make your secure, tax-deductible gift today. Thank you!

“Naulakha is a treasure…it is easy to see why this was one of the two favorite places in the world Rudyard Kipling wanted to live.
The house and grounds are a place of enchantment, and our grandchildren will have memories to last a lifetime.”
— Visitor to Rudyard Kipling’s Naulakha
Naulakha is available for vacation rentals year-round.
