American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society

The American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society was created in 1895 as New York's first organized preservation lobby. The Society operated as a national organization to protect the natural scenery and the preservation of historic landmarks; to preserve landmarks and records of the past or present; to erect memorials and promote appreciation of the scenic beauty of America.^[1]

There is no information about when the Society dissolved but there are no records of their activities after 1979.
