Historic Homes

Historic Columbia Foundation was founded in 1961 by a group of preservationists intent on saving the Ainsley Hall House, known today as the Robert Mills House. The mission of the Historic Columbia Foundation is to nurture, support and protect the historical and cultural heritage of Columbia and its environs through programs of advocacy, education and preservation. Today, Historic Columbia Foundation manages Robert Mills House, Woodrow Wilson Family Home, Hampton-Preston Mansion, and Mann-Simons Cottage museums and their associated artifacts. Historic Columbia Foundation provides daily house museum tours, walking tours and guided bus tours of Columbia's cultural and historical assets.
