2025 Preservation Awards Ceremony

701 Whaley : 701 Whaley St., Columbia, SC 29201

Each year, Historic Columbia celebrates local preservation successes by highlighting the myriad ways that our community embraces historic places and the stories they hold.

Please join us for drinks and light hors d'oeuvres followed by the awards presentation to recognize exemplary projects and inspiring people.
