Preservation Durham
Protecting Durham’s culturally diverse history, heritage, and historic assets through education, advocacy, and action
— About Us
Durham is a preservation town. Our favorite places have age, patina, and authenticity. They tell our story – one of scrappy entrepreneurs, creative reinvention, and stubborn optimism.
Established in 1974, Preservation Durham continues to educate, advocate, and call to action the wider Durham community.
