The Foster Preservation Society, founded in 1966, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving historic buildings, rural character, colonial heritage, and promoting the orderly growth and development of Foster, Rhode Island. Through educational programs, research, and acquisition of historical materials, the Society works towards these objectives and collaborates with other agencies sharing similar goals.
The Society's headquarters is located in the historic Foster Town House, built in 1796 and used for town meetings since 1801. They offer tours and visits by appointment, and their website provides resources such as audio-video files, historical cemetery surveys, and information on their plaque program for identifying and honoring significant buildings in Foster. Recently, the Society acquired the Mount Hygeia School House and plans to restore it with the help of members and volunteers.
