Welcome to the 2025 Annual Report
We are pleased to present the Trustees 2025 Annual Report—a snapshot of the rich and wonderful stories that unfolded across our properties this year. Stories are important.

The 2025 Annual Report documents the Trustees 2025 fiscal year, April 1, 2024 - March 31, 2025, and events throughout 2025. Behind every metric in this report is a story worth telling.
