Manteo Preservation Trust — Heritage and Community Stewardship

About

Manteo Preservation Trust (MPT), based in Manteo Outer Banks on Roanoke Island, began 20 years ago as a nonprofit 501(c)(3). A group of citizens established the organization to increase public awareness of Manteo’s historic, cultural and architectural heritage.

Manteo’s identity is deeply connected to boat building, fishing and generational families. Together, these traditions have created a cultural continuity that deserves protection and preservation. MPT leads the effort to share the town’s story, working alongside citizens and elected officials so the history held in its homes, businesses, parks and community buildings remains for years to come.
