Research Roundtable

Research Roundtable | Preservation Visionaries Mabel Payne & Jennie Dreher

1601 Richland Street, Columbia, SC 29201

Founded in 1961, Historic Columbia shared one major trait with other preservation-based organizations—it had women largely to thank for its existence. Join Director of Cultural Resources John Sherrer for this Research Roundtable as we meet two key members of that tour de force – Jennie Dreher and Mabel Payne, whose respective efforts saved the Robert Mills House five decades ago and whose spirits continue to shape the character of our city today.
