Preserve Bristol is a pro-active community based organization concerned with the accelerated pace of Bristol's development and the need for managed growth. Our mission is to maintain and protect the unique social, environmental and economic character of Bristol, Rhode Island to ensure the quality of life for its residents.

The group meets every third Thursday of the month. Community members are encouraged to attend. Donations to Preserve Bristol are used to provide experts and consultants to inform the community on issues relating to its mission.

"Naysayers may ask, What difference does saving one train station or post office truly make in the future of America? My response is this: Preservation is not just about bricks and mortar, lintel and beam. It is about the quality of life, and the possibility of a bright future. Carl Sandburg expressed the danger of losing touch with our past when he said, 'If America forgets where she came from, if people lose sight of what brought them along, then will begin the rot and dissolution."
