Get to Know Us

Did you know? As Greensboro’s only not-for-profit advocate for historic preservation, we receive no funding from city, state, nor federal sources. Our success is based on your support. Members receive two free passes to Blandwood, and much more. Preservation Greensboro is among North Carolina's oldest city-based organizations dedicated to saving our community's architectural treasures!

We save historic sites and neighborhoods, Landmarks, and culture in the Guilford County area and are the second oldest (just six months younger) preservation advocacy nonprofit organization in the state. 

The Landmark Italian Villa style home of Governor John Motley Morehead by architect A. J. Davis is open for regular tours.

Our distinctive Carriage House is a two-level pavilion that is available for events on the grounds of Blandwood Mansion.

If we can't save the building we save the architectural elements and building materials!

​ABOUT US >

There are few places that evoke such a diverse sense of American history as Greensboro. The cultural center of the Society of Friends in the South gave birth to such notable personalities as the resilient First Lady Dolley Madison, the enigmatic writer O. Henry, and the fearless Greensboro Four. Greensboro was also a stage for the American Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Movement. However, Greensboro’s historical legacy is not limited solely to 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 have graced the city with a broad selection of architectural history, ranging from Federal and Greek Revival designs to Mid-Century Modern works, to name a few. Historic preservation is thriving our city center and surrounding neighborhoods and historic districts, as well as representation by treasured landmarks throughout the city.
