Celebrating preservation inspired design in Charleston, South Carolina.

Revolutionizing the field since its inception, Historic Charleston Foundation is a National leader in historic preservation. Through robust easement and education programs, dedicated advocacy and policy efforts, and the careful stewardship of two historic house museums—the Aiken-Rhett House c.1820 and the Nathaniel Russell House c.1808 the organization works to protect Charleston’s historic cultures and communities. HCF advocates for smart growth that addresses resiliency, sustainability, affordability, responsible tourism, and protection of the cultural assets. Your donations and the revenue from educational programs are crucial to the Foundation’s ability to preserve and sustain the best of Charleston. Charleston by Design is a special opportunity for design enthusiasts, preservation advocates, and anyone with an appreciation for Charleston’s rich heritage to engage with the city’s living history and dynamic design future.
