Adult Education
Teacher Workshop
Each summer, Historic Columbia partners with local organizations to host a two-day workshop for teachers to help develop curriculum content and showcase new resources to use in the classroom. Continuing education credit is available to South Carolina teachers. Join us August 1-2, 2022 for an exploration of the lives of Columbia's most influential women past and present.
Preservation Workshops
