The Preservation Society
Description
The Preservation Society of Asheville & Buncombe County, Inc., is a private, non-profit membership organization whose purpose is to promote and support the preservation of the historic, architectural, and cultural resources of Asheville and Buncombe County.
Founded in 1976, the Preservation Society has provided critical leadership in local efforts to preserve the rich cultural legacy of the region through four primary areas of activity: advocacy, education, technical preservation assistance, and historic property intervention.
The Preservation Society has been a strong advocate of comprehensive preservation techniques to protect and revitalize local historic resources. Early efforts focused on the work of documenting the historic resources of the community through historic resource surveys and National Register nominations, the important first step in promoting a broader awareness of the community's assets and engendering local preservation action.
