The mission of Greater Portland Landmarks is to preserve and revitalize the architectural fabric, history, and character of Greater Portland--renewing neighborhoods, spurring economic development and keeping Portland one of the most livable cities in America. The Portland Observatory, the country's last remaining maritime signal tower, brings history to life for visitors of all ages. Landmarks operates the city-owned tower as an educational historic site.

Landmarks works to increase the public’s connection to greater Portland’s remarkable historic built environment by providing leadership, advocacy, educational publications, programs and resources, and by acting as steward of the Portland Observatory (1807) for future generations. The goal is to save and protect greater Portland’s historic places while promoting innovative new architecture that will become tomorrow’s landmarks.
