Dear Friend,

We are so thankful for your support of the National Trust and historic preservation. To express our gratitude, we wanted to give you a special Thanksgiving Day gift.

Since so many of us will be using video conferencing tools like Zoom to connect with our friends and family members today, we are sharing this link to download our new collection of digital backgrounds featuring historic places in beautiful autumn settings. I hope they add a fun new dimension to your Thanksgiving calls!

This Thanksgiving will be an unusual one for most Americans as we remain vigilant in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether you’re spending the holiday with your loved ones in person or virtually, I hope that you find strength and comfort in the power of tradition and connection, however different they may be this year.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the National Trust!

With gratitude,
