Our Impact.  Your Support.

Our city has a story to tell—one that we must protect and pass on to future generations. The Preservation Society of Nashville has made significant strides in advocacy, education, and preservation efforts. As we look to the future, we're filled with optimism and excitement for what lies ahead. We have three core beliefs at the root of all our work: 

 

  • Preservation is for everyone. It transcends politics, religion, and background. It’s about respecting the places we call home and honoring the identity built by previous generations. 

  • Preservation is the keeper of culture. The very soul of Nashville—its stories, neighborhoods, and architecture—rests in our hands. These are the threads that weave together a community narrative, fostering our unique identity and our sense of connection to one another.

  • Preservation is about the future as much as the past. This is not just about nostalgia. It’s about activating our collective heritage to inform the thoughtful development of our future. 

 

Together, we will continue to protect and champion all that makes Music City so special. We invite you to join us in this important work, whether through your time, your advocacy, or your financial support. This is a mission for all of us, and every voice matters. Here’s to our many successes ahead!
