National Trust Tours invites you to join
a privileged group of members on a
custom-designed cultural escape in

beautiful downtown Bon Marché building
(1923), visits to remarkable private historic
residences, and meals at favorite local
restaurants – including the magical Grove
Park Inn – this program is the perfect way to

Travel With
David J. Brown
Few names over the last 20 years have
been more synonymous with the National
Trust for Historic Preservation than David J.
Brown. As the founding Chief Preservation
Officer at the National Trust, David led the
Trust’s comprehensive preservation efforts,
working with many stakeholders to facilitate
the complex and costly efforts to save
historic places and build thriving, livable
communities. He has been an affiliate
fellow at the American Academy in Rome, a
trustee at Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest
and Filoli (a NTHP historic site), a founding
director of the International National
Trusts Organisation, and is an aficionado
of American roots music. His decades
of experience in preservation battles will
provide helpful context for the wonders we
will discover in Asheville.
