We lead the way in preserving Charleston's heritage through our Preservation initiatives, Advocacy efforts, and House Museums. Experience our mission firsthand at the Aiken-Rhett and Nathaniel Russell Houses, showcasing Charleston's rich history.
Our Mission
Our mission is to advocate for a future for Charleston that honors and protects its people, places, culture, and community.
The past is everywhere you look in Charleston – triumphs and tragedies, beauty and brutality, infused in art and architecture and etched in stone. Preserved, and restored, step through the door to be transported back in time.
The Board of Trustees and Staff of Historic Charleston Foundation invite you to join us for the 78th annual Charter Day Awards Ceremony and Celebration on Thursday, May 1st! Please join us in honoring those whose work and vision have impacted the preservation of Charleston’s historical, architectural, and cultural legacy.
