The Reston Historic Trust for Community Revitalization is organized exclusively for educational purposes as a Non-Profit Corporation to promote the social and economic vitality of local communities through a program of history-based educational activities. The Corporation operates a museum of 20th Century community life and offers exhibition and meeting space, a collections program, regular educational programming for children, public programs for adults, historic walking tours (self and guided), festivals, and public events. These educational programs are conducted by the professional staff of the Corporation, working with a retinue of trained volunteers, and largely takes place in the Lake Anne Historic District of Reston, Virginia. Such fees as might be charged for these activities are determined by professional staff so authorized by the Board of Trustees. The Corporation also plans to develop an educational initiative to prommote the use of history for urban planning and heritage tourism purposes. Designed to encourage the physical and economic revitalization of older neighborhoods, this initiative initially will focus on the Lake Anne Historic District of Reston, Virginia.
The Reston Historic Trust for Community Revitalization committee structure is comprised of these functional areas:
