Richland Preservation Action

The Richland Preservation Action group (RPA) is a community group affiliate of the Richland County Historical Society.  We have come together to encourage each other in the advocacy for and restoration of our built environment.

The focus of our fundraising campaign is to raise money to be used towards workshops surrounding our continuing legacy project, the Boiler House at the Dayspring Assisted Living Facility including the restoration and duplication of the deteriorated windows. Dayspring is a National Register listed Historic District as well as a location which provides much needed services to our community.

Any funds in excess of those which are used for the Dayspring Boiler House project will go towards our foundational fund, which we utilize to write matching grants for restoration workshops and partnership ventures.  

If you believe in the power of information, sandpaper and paint, or that a group of people declaring that "This Place Matters" can affect the future while honoring the past, consider joining with us.  Membership is free and open to all!
