About Historic Ithaca

Historic Ithaca is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1966 and the leading voice for historic preservation in Tompkins County and the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. We advance the value, vitality, and sustainability of our built heritage through education, advocacy, and action.

With headquarters in Ithaca’s Southside, we operate a community hub consisting of two historic buildings. What was once a neighborhood grocery store now houses staff offices, meeting space, and an accessible Library of the Built Environment. The other, an industrial building constructed in 1887, is home to Significant Elements—a 10,000-square-foot nonprofit architectural salvage store that keeps donated historic building materials in circulation. Adjacent to the store, a purpose-modified workshop space supports Work Preserve, providing valuable hands-on preservation skills training and retail experience for marginalized youth. Both of these programs support our preservation activities, which include offsite tours, events, an historic preservation awards program, and a wide array of preservation services for property owners, businesses, and municipalities.

Executive Director Position Description

The Executive Director works in close partnership with an engaged and experienced Board of Directors to provide overall leadership and strategic direction to advance Historic Ithaca’s mission. Advocating for the built environment, the Executive Director is responsible for fundraising and revenue development, cultivating and sustaining key stakeholder relationships, supervising and supporting staff, ensuring the organization’s fiscal sustainability, and overseeing day‑to‑day operations.
