As spring breathes new life into our surroundings, the historic charm of Columbia is set to be celebrated in a truly remarkable fashion. On the evening of Thursday, May 16th, from 5 pm to 6 pm, the esteemed 2024 Preservation Awards Ceremony will take place at the stunning 701 Whaley, a locale that itself basks in the glory of a rehabilitation award received just two years prior.

This annual event, hosted by Historic Columbia, is more than just an awards ceremony—it's a gathering of individuals who are deeply passionate about preserving the rich tapestry of our city's past. As the sun dips below the horizon, staff, volunteers, and members alike will come together in the spirit of Preservation Month, celebrating the efforts and achievements of those dedicated to safeguarding our architectural and cultural heritage.

The evening promises to be one of elegance and intrigue, with drinks and light hors d'oeuvres to whet the appetite before the main spectacle: the awards presentation. The intrigue lies in the mystery—winners are kept secret until the very moment they are unveiled at the event, adding an element of suspense and excitement to the proceedings.

Though the list of potential honorees is shrouded in secrecy, the invitation to participate in this prestigious event is open. As the ceremony draws near, keep an eye out for the release of individual tickets and the opportunity to be part of a night where history is not only honored but made. Will you be there to witness the unveiling of this year's champions of preservation?
