LGBTQ+ Kickoff at Famously Hot SC Pride!

Main St. : Main. St, Columbia, SC 29201

Help us kickoff the LGBTQ Columbia History Initiative! Historic Columbia joins the University of South Carolina Libraries in launching the LGBTQ Columbia History Initiative during Famously Hot SC Pride! Festival on Oct. 23.

The LGBTQ Columbia History Initiative tells the story of the capital city’s LGBTQ+ community through oral histories, digital archives, virtual tours and more. It’s designed to amplify the diverse, complex past of a community that has, for too long, been relegated to the origins of our history.

    Corporate and private sponsorship is a key factor in enabling Historic Columbia to preserve local history and foster economic growth in our area. Please consider supporting Historic Columbia as it presents this initiative.
