The Preservation Society of Chapel Hill at the Horace Williams House

Join us for Chapel Hill's only guided walking tours every Sunday at 2 p.m.



Our Mission
Founded in 1972, the Preservation Society of Chapel Hill actively campaigns to save Chapel Hill's historic, natural, and man-made landmarks. We have a long list of accomplishments thus far, but the increasing development in the Chapel Hill area continues to challenge us.

Our Services
The Preservation Society of Chapel Hill offers a wide range of attractions & services. The Horace Williams House is available for weddings, receptions, meetings, & other special events where the quality of the surroundings is as important as the quality of the event. The Horace Williams House functions as a cultural arts facility for the performing and visual arts and is open to the public Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM (some holidays excluded), and on Sundays from 1 PM to 4 PM. The art exhibits are free and are open to the public.
