Sustaining Raleigh’s architectural inheritance for everyone’s benefit.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and elevation of Raleigh, NC’s historic, cultural, and architectural assets.
May is Preservation Month!
Preservation Month began as National Preservation Week in 1973. In 2005, the National Trust for Historic Preservation extended the celebration to the entire month of May to provide a greater opportunity to celebrate the diverse and unique heritage of our country’s cities and states.
This year, Preservation Month takes on a new meaning. As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we’re looking to the places that bring its most powerful promise to life, that “all people are created equal,” and to the preservationists making sure those places endure. The National Trust and Preservation Raleigh invite you to help us consider the historic sites, neighborhoods, and landmarks that tell the full American story.
Preservation Raleigh is proud to promote this month through our educational awareness program, Places in Peril. Learn about some of Raleigh’s most vulnerable historic assets through our “PIP” initiative. Preserving them strengthens our community, fosters a sense of place, and connects us to the past.

Place in Peril: This beautiful home located at 216 Hawthorne Road in Forest Park is currently on the market for $3.2 million. While the price reflects the home’s size and prime location, it also places the property in a precarious position. - Observe Preservation Month with Preservation Raleigh
