Council of Historic Richmond Foundation, LLC

Founded in 1959, the mission of the Council of the Historic Richmond Foundation is to support the programs of the Foundation through a variety of projects as agreed to by the membership.

The Council serves to prepare its members to be ambassadors for the Foundation through self-enrichment gained from programs, tours, research projects and attendance at educational events sponsored by the Council and/or the Foundation. The Council supports a yearly bus trip for membership to gain exposure to various historic structures and landscapes.

The Council annually produces Historic Garden Day for the Garden Club of Virginia’s Richmond territory. The Council works with historic neighborhoods to create a walking tour of notable historic homes, where Council members serve as tour guides/hostesses.
