The Mississippi Heritage Trust (MHT) was established in 1992 as a non-profit preservation organization in the state of Mississippi.〔(Mississippi Heritage Trust ) Retrieved 2012-07-11.〕 Its mission is to save and renew places meaningful to Mississippians and their history, which is accomplished by education, advocacy, and preservation. MHT is supported by private resources that include special funding events, membership fees, grants, and gifts. MHT is governed by a Board of Trustees, with day-to-day operation under the guidance of an Executive Director and staff located in Jackson, Mississippi. ==Accomplishments== Beginning in 1999, a recurring accomplishment of the organization has been its annual list of the ''Ten Most Endangered Historic Places in Mississippi''. The objective of the list is to raise awareness of the most threatened historic places in the state.〔(Endangered Historic Places List 2009 ) Retrieved 2012-07-11.〕 Through this awareness effort, dozens of historic places have been restored and preserved in Mississippi. As an example, the King Edward Hotel in Jackson was on the Heritage Trust's first endangered list in 1999. Although vacant for more than 30 years,〔(Jackson’s King Edward Hotel ) Retrieved 2012-07-12.〕 the King Edward was renovated and reopened in 2009 as the Hilton Garden Inn.〔(Hilton Garden Inn ) Retrieved 2012-07-12.〕 Mississippi Heritage Trust, in coordination with preservation partners, successfully lobbied the Mississippi Legislature to pass a preservation tax credit to stimulate private investments in restoration of historic properties.〔(About Mississippi Heritage Trust ) Retrieved 2012-07-12.〕 Concomitantly, MHT developed a historic preservation curriculum for use in Mississippi public schools to educate children about the value of preserving historic properties.
