Palladium Society
Established as a way for young professionals to be involved with Historic Columbia, the Palladium Society is a group of individuals helping forward Historic Columbia's mission through fundraisers and social events. Through events such as the Chili Cook-Off, Wine Tasting Socials, Silent Auctions and various other fundraising opportunities, the society plays an intricate part in creating awareness for the organization.

Historic Columbia was founded in 1961 by a group of preservationists determined to save the Ainsley Hall House, known today as the Robert Mills House. More than four decades later Historic Columbia now manages four historic house museums and their associated artifacts. Through programs of advocacy, education and preservation, Historic Columbia protects, supports and nurtures the historical and cultural heritage of Columbia, South Carolina.
