Our mission is to champion the preservation of the varied elements that give the Richmond metropolitan area its unique historic character and to preserve the vitality of Richmond's distinctive heritage.
Preservation; what a wonderful concept. Preservation is what helps Richmond keep its voice. It is a multidisciplinary process that drives tourism, improves quality of life and creates meaning.
Historic Richmond Foundation is involved in building grassroots advocacy on both the city and state levels to promote awareness about the much needed protection of our historic resources.
Historic Richmond Foundation is committed to developing nontraditional ways of raising awareness about the city's unique architectural history.
Named for Richmond's most popular 19th century social club, the Quoit Club is a group for young Richmond residents who are interested in history and architecture.
Through the support of donors and volunteers, Historic Richmond Foundation is able to achieve its mission of preserving the unique architecture, history and culture of the city.
