History runs through us all, whether we physically run past buildings and ships, or observe from afar. Help HWF continue to be the champions of historic preservation so we can all enjoy the homes, cemetaries, and more for years to come. Having started my museum career at a Historic House Museum Organization, old buildings are some of my favorites to ogle in cities I've visited and live. Plus, adaptive reuse gets me real excited.

HWF preserves built history in Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear region through purchasing and rehabilating distressed old houses, and selling them with protective covenants (easements) in place. Such deed restrictions contractually protect properties in perpetuity.
