The Landmarks Preservation Program is dedicated to the Preservation of sites, structures and other significant features of Cranbrook's natural and historical heritage. Included in the program are The Baker Home, built in 1887 as a dwelling for the founder of Cranbrook, Col. James A. Baker.

The Centennial Heritage Trees Program was begun in 1989. Working with the City, the Provincial Government and local groups, it continues landscaping improvements along the highway through Cranbrook (including the Railway Museum Development Zone fo the city) to provide image enhancement for the community.
