We hold an annual Preservation Awards Luncheon each year to celebrate the accomplishments of local architectural, construction and rehabilitation projects and leaders. The awards recognize local projects that have maintained or added to the historical, architectural and cultural heritage throughout Columbia and Richland County. In addition, we often give a Preservation Leadership Award to individuals who contribute to the advancement of historic preservation in the region.
