The Dade Heritage Trust is an incredible local group that is Miami-Dade County’s largest preservation organization. Their mission is to preserve Miami-Dade County’s architectural, environmental, and cultural heritage through preservation, education and advocacy efforts. Check out their very unique headquarters, located in Brickell at the 1905 original office of Dr. James Jackson, Miami’s first physician. While you’re there, be sure to go inside to their museum and see the exhibit that we partnered with them on — all about Biscayne Bay!

We’re proud of our extensive collaboration together. Read more HERE.
