    ​ABOUT US >

    At Preservation Greensboro, we take our mission seriously: to build thriving communities by protecting and renewing the historic, cultural. and architectural treasures throughout the Greater Greensboro area. Because few places evoke the diverse sense of American history quite like Greensboro. 

     

    The city is the cultural center of the Society of Friends in the South and the birth place to such notables as the resilient First Lady Dolley Madison, the enigmatic writer O. Henry, and the fearless Greensboro Four. Greensboro also served key roles in the American Revolutionary War, Civil War, and Civil Rights Movement. 

     

    Greensboro’s historical legacy isn't limited to these personalities and pivot points. The city has long been home to a large and vibrant African American population, Southern Industrialists, and numerous institutions of higher learning. 

     

    The city is graced with a broad selection of architectural history, ranging from Federal and Greek Revival designs to Mid-Century Modern. Historic preservation thrives in the city center, surrounding neighborhoods, historic districts, and treasured landmarks.
