Its purpose is to preserve and maintain historical, aesthetic and cultural properties, buildings, fix- tures, and furnishings pertaining to the State of Maryland. The Trust is composed of fifteen trustees, of whom the Governor, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Dele- gates, or their representatives, are ex officio members. The remaining trustees were originally appointed by the Governor as follows: three for one year; three for two years; three for three years; and three for four years. As their terms expired, their successors were elected by a vote of the trustees. The trustees serve without compensation, and elect one of their number as Chairman. The trustees may also appoint a Director and such other persons as may be necessary to operate the Trust. The Trust is to make a report annually to the Governor and the General Assembly together with any recommenda- tions to further the purpose of the Trust (Code 1957, 1971 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sees. 181A-181K).

It is also to acquire and hold real and personal property of his- toric, aesthetic or cultural significance, by gift, purchase, devise, be- quest, or by any other means and to preserve and administer such properties. It may accept gifts, legacies, bequests and endowments for any purpose which falls within that of the Trust. Finally, it is to cooperate with and assist, insofar as practicable, any agency of the State of Maryland or any of its political subdivisions, and any private agency or person in furtherance of the purpose of the Trust. The Maryland Historical Trust realizes that Maryland is in a strategic location because of the large inventory of historic buildings and sites. Proper guidelines have been established by the Maryland Historic Preservation Plan. A far reaching preservation system has initiated a comprehensive program of acquisitions of title, covenants, or easements; restorations; and protection and management of historic sites. Financed by Federal, State, and private funds, this program has greatly increased the number of well cared for historic properties. The mechanics through which the Trust accomplishes its objectives include a revolving fund, grants-in-aid, capital improvements, be- quests and easements. As funds are available, the Trust can make grants to responsible preservation organizations within the state. Loans or gifts from the |
