The Roycroft Campus is the best preserved and most complete complex of buildings remaining of the “guilds” that evolved in the United States at the turn of the 19th to 20th century. Designated a National Historic Landmark (NHL) in 1986, the Campus contains 14 structures including the Inn, the Chapel, the Print Shop, the Furniture Shop, the Power House and the Copper Shop. The Roycroft Campus Corporation (RCC) was established to preserve and restore the Campus. It helped lead the successful restoration and reopening of The Roycroft Inn in 1995. Its ultimate goal is to preserve the unique architectural setting of the Campus, but moreover, to bring back to life the Roycroft community and ideals by re-introducing working artisans on the Campus; develop comprehensive, multi-faceted educational programming; and encouraging the development of a center for creativity and innovation in the decorative arts, fine arts, and literature.
