Headquartered in Sanford, FL (Zip Code: 32772), it focuses on preserving and promoting the city's architectural and historical heritage through education and stewardship initiatives. The Trust is key to safeguarding Sanford’s historic districts, which play a crucial role in attracting tourism and new businesses by maintaining authentic local charm.

It also hosts events like the annual "Holiday Tour of Homes" fundraiser and coordinates projects such as the installation of historic district lamppost markers.

In addition to historical stewardship projects, SANFORD HISTORIC TRUST runs an interactive photo contest that culminates in a calendar showcasing selected works. Coordinated by members Kathy Hull and Reg Garner, this project emphasizes community involvement. The organization maintains its mission through leadership from officers including Henry Dieckhaus (President) and Tania J King (Treasurer), with administrative support at their mailing address PO BOX 536, Sanford, FL 32772.
