Mission Statement:
The Castle Preservation Society’s mission is to preserve, interpret and share the buildings and landscape of the Castle in the Clouds as a cultural and educational resource for the benefit of the public.
Top Funding Sources:
The Castle receives philanthropic support from corporate sponsors, foundations and individuals. We fundraise through direct mail, corporate sponsorship, individual/public library membership drives and outright gifts and bequests. We are focused on developing philanthropic partnerships with corporations, foundations and individuals who share our values and believe in our mission to be a key community resource to the Lakes Region of NH and beyond. Earned income is derived through museum admissions, rental of our facilities for weddings and corporate events, public programs and educational programming fees, and on-site food services.
Year Established: 2006
Employees: 80
Annual Revenue: $2,500,000
Service Locations:
As a “must see” attraction and historic estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places with National Significance, the Castle welcomes visitors from across the world to tour the Lucknow Mansion. The majority of our visitors are residents and visitors to the Lakes Region from around New England. We focus on programs and exhibits that are of interest to both repeat guests and first-time visitors.

2025 Goals:
The Castle is focused on completing the restoration of the Lucknow estate, with rehabilitation projects underway at our two gate houses in 2025. We are also working on the implementation of our recently adopted strategic plan: including broadening our community outreach by further developing partnerships with nonprofit and for-profit organizations, increasing and refining our public programming, continuing to grow our educational offerings, and strengthening revenue streams by growing our events rental and on-site dining businesses — all in support of our mission.
Fundraising Events:
The Castle will host its annual fundraising gala, incorporating themed music and food as well as a live auction of Castle experiences. We will also put on weekly Music Nights, our popular Fall Car Show and the kick-off to the holiday season, Christmas at the Castle. All significant programs and events offer corporate sponsorship opportunities, and revenue from these activities directly support our mission to preserve and share the historic Lucknow Estate for the good of the community.
Giving Opportunities:
The Castle seeks support for our ongoing restoration projects, educational and public programming, and general operations. Individual and library membership and corporate sponsorship options abound. We seek long-term partnerships with foundations whose mission and interest align with our own.
Volunteer Opportunities:
The Castle has a history of relying on volunteers. We welcome volunteers across all areas: educational/public programming, in the Lucknow Mansion, the gardens and grounds, and helping to direct guests visiting our campus. We celebrate our volunteers and have a high return rate. With almost 30,000 visitors annually, volunteers are offered a range of ways to both help enhance the visitor experience while staying active themselves.
