Founded on Preservation
Fueled by passion and perseverance, grassroots preservationists founded Historic Columbia in November 1961 with a mission to save one of Columbia’s most significant landmark buildings—the ca.-1823 Robert Mills House. Today, Historic Columbia is the primary advocate for preservation throughout Columbia and Richland County. We preserve through stewardship of historic properties. We preserve through education. We preserve through partnerships. We preserve knowing that we aren’t just safeguarding history; we are building a foundation for a thriving future.
Historic preservation not only recalls our community's past but also guides its future.
