“I’m interested in horticulture.”

Your membership dollars help us create and expand the gardens in our historic properties, and you’ll also be the first to know about tours and programs led by our master gardener.

“I want to learn the history of the city."

Joining Historic Columbia is the best way to connect to the city’s history and help ensure that it’s preserved for the next generation.

Member Spotlight

Lauren Elliott

Being brand new to the Columbia community back in 2014, I wanted to find a connection to my new home and to what makes it unique. It's important for me to understand the place I call home. Becoming a part of the Palladium Society has helped me recognize the importance of the history of Columbia but also to learn about how we are working as a community to preserve that for future generations to come. I have met so many link-minded individuals who are dedicated to our city and want to continue to make it a great place to live. My husband and I have embraced our membership and even got married at Robert Mills House in 2015.
