Mission Statement
History Salvaged began with a simple goal: the reclamation, salvaging and repurposing of wood and other natural materials from historic sites throughout the United States that would otherwise be discarded and lost to history.
We work primarily with Witness Wood® and timbers removed from historical buildings and sites during the renovation and preservation of existing structures as well as with trees and branches that have fallen in storms, or are removed for safety reasons or expanded construction.
We offer a significant alternative to support our client historical sites, museums, fraternal organizations and others, rather than the discarding and destruction of these limited, one of a kind resources, thus preserving not only history, but also the integrity of the environment through the repurposing of these materials.
Although our initial creations were limited to fine writing instruments, we have developed a group of artists, craftsmen, artisans and others and expanded our product offering to include picture frames, bottle stoppers, ornaments, magnets, bookmarks, furniture, artwork and other collectibles.
With the challenges facing all of us in the 21st Century and as the Greatest Generation and Baby Boomers age, the relationship with our fore fathers and national identity seems to be fading. We are committed to preserving our national identity and preserving sites, buildings and materials that have not only witnessed but have been part of that national identity.
We hope you will join us in our efforts to keep our history alive for current and future generations as we strive in our small way to ensure America’s culture and history is preserved.
