Campus Signage Improvement Project
2025-26 Annual Fund
Campus Signage Improvement Project
Support access across Historic Columbia's campus
For generations, Historic Columbia has been a place where stories of our city come to life—through its homes, gardens, and landmarks that connect people to the past and inspire a shared future. But even the most powerful stories need clear voices. That’s why this year’s Annual Fund is focused on a visible, lasting need: improving signage across our campus.
Why Signage Matters
Over time, many of our wayfinding, interpretive, and site identification signs have weathered the elements or become outdated. These signs do more than point directions — they help visitors navigate, learn, and feel welcome from the moment they step onto our grounds. Your support will help us:
- Replace deteriorating and outdated signs across our six historic sites.
- Install new directional and interpretive signage that meets accessibility and design best practices.
- Create a cohesive look that reflects Historic Columbia’s brand and hospitality.
- Enhance visitor understanding and connection to Columbia’s layered history.
Funding Need
Help us raise $25,000 to improve signage across Historic Columbia’s campus. Updated interpretive and wayfinding signage will make our grounds more welcoming, accessible, and informative for all who visit. Your gift to the 2025–26 Annual Fund ensures that every guest can explore our historic spaces with clarity and connection. Gifts of all sizes make a difference—thank you for helping us guide the way to Columbia’s past, present, and future.
