The Huntington Historical and Community Trust (HHCT) was born out of a merger between the Huntington Historical Society and the Huntington Revitalization Trust. In the 1980s the Historical Society, initiated by Lorraine and Hilton Jones, incorporated around a key issue: the restoration of the Union Meeting House. In 1997, the Revitalization Trust was formed to provide citizen support for the development of the Fuller House, a commercial project that would later house the town's post office.
