Mission

Save buildings, places, and stories that define Savannah's past, present, and future.

About

Preservation and restoration of historic properties - Historic Savannah Foundation (HSF) is the only non-profit preservation organization in Savannah and Chatham County. With more than a thousand supporters, HSF is the recognized leader of the local preservation movement. HSF advocates, educates, and gets directly involved in preserving and protecting Savannah's heritage. Through the use of a revolving fund, which acquires and restores endangered historic buildings, a variety of creative educational programs to train youth and adults, and the Davenport House Museum, which serves as an example of good stewardship, HSF touches tens of thousands of people each year. HSF started one of the country's first revolving funds which raises private capital to save vacant, blighted historic buildings. HSF saved scores of buildings in the landmark district and, since then, it has gone on to save nearly 370 historic buildings throughout multiple historic districts across Savannah. While doing so, HSF helped the city earn an international reputation as a well-preserved city and tourist destination.
