The Legacy Award is the Trust’s most prestigious honor for an individual, recognizing a person whose life exemplifies the guardianship of Florida’s historic properties through philosophy and action.
The President’s Award recognizes an individual’s lifelong achievements and leadership in state and national preservation arenas and service to the Florida Trust.
