History Salvaged, began with a simple goal: the reclamation, salvaging and repurposing of wood and other natural materials from historic and cultural sites throughout the United States that would otherwise be discarded and lost to time.
History Salvaged works primarily with wood and timber removed from historical buildings and sites during renovation and restoration of existing structures as well as with trees and branches that have fallen in storms or are removed for maintenance, safety, or expanded construction.
The value that History Salvaged sees in these unique resources has inspired us to create our handcrafted heirlooms! If these resources could only speak, they would provide first-hand accounts of some of the seminal events in American and World History. By salvaging and utilizing Witness Wood (our trademarked slogan and description of these historic woods) and other materials, our passion and commitment is to build heirlooms that last for generations! We hope not only that our creations will inspire, generate conversation and enjoyment for their original owners, but that they will be passed down to future generations and inspire those generations with the story each contains.
