Welcome! We are glad you are visiting our webpage. We communicate about events and other activities here and on social media. This page gives you quick access to both.

We are actively working on numerous areas and we would be happy to have your support, either through financial support or as a volunteer.

Some of our current and recent projects are

  • National Register nomination for Bethania Freedman neighborhood 

Thanks to funding from many individuals as well as the Covington Foundation, John and Anna Hanes Foundation, Richard and Marie Reynolds Foundation, and the Winston-Salem Foundation, this project has been fully funded!

  • a Mid-Century Modernist house tour held in March 2025 that was a great success
  • Working with Ardmore Neighborhood Association on a solution for saving historic Ardmore homes from demolition by WFU Medical Center
  • We are also always working on identifying and working with owners to establish preservation easements on historic buildings
  • Technical workshops on graveyard preservation and historic wood windows so stay tuned!

We have a goal to host a monthly activity that helps promote a historic building, so keep an eye on the upcoming events below. If you have a suggestion let us know.  Some events are exclusive to members or members get first chance to register so consider joining which also helps as a financial supporter. Our Facebook page also has weekly postings to help talk about historic preservation and architectural terminology.

If you have any suggestions please email info@preservationforsyth.org or ask on our Facebook page.
