Fort Washita was established in 1842 as the southwestern-most post in the United States. (Beyond the borders to the south and west was the Republic of Texas which had recently won its independence from Mexico.) The purpose of the post was to protect the Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians from the Plains Indians. For centuries the latter had used this area for hunting and were not happy with newcomers settling in the area. Troops stationed at Fort Washita from time to time in the 1840s included the 2nd Dragoons, the U.S. Regiment of Riflemen, the 6th Infantry, the 7th Infantry, and the 5th Infantry. During a portion of the 1850s the post served as the United States Army Field Artillery School. Throughout the 1840s and 1850s the post provided quarters for the United States Indian Agency to the Chickasaw and Choctaw governments. On April 16, 1861, the fort was abandoned by U.S. forces under the command of Colonel William Emory. The next day Fort Washita was occupied by Confederate forces and used during the War Between the States. For the next hundred years, the buildings were used by members of the Colbert family who were leaders of the Chickasaw Nation. The fort was acquired by the Oklahoma Historical Society in 1962 and has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.

The National Association for Olmsted Parks (NAOP), established in 1980, is a coalition of design and preservation professionals, historic property and park managers, scholars, municipal officials, citizen activists, and representatives of numerous Olmsted organizations around the United States. Its concern is the legacy of landscape work left by Frederick Law Olmsted Sr. and the firm founded by his sons, Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects (OBLA).
Appears to be an umbrella organization, not affiliated with a specific historic site.
Today, the Southern New England Chapter (SNEC) of the Society for Industrial Archeology (SIA) keeps the industrial legacy of this region alive. Through its chapter newsletter, annual conference on New England industrial archeology and exclusive tours of industrial sites—most of them active, working factories otherwise inaccessible to the general public—the Society explores the places, lives, and ideas of the region's industrial heritage.
General interest organization for adults; does not seem to be focused on youth or school education.
