Preservation

Buckhead Heritage strives to preserve significant historic resources that contribute to the quality of life in Buckhead. In addition to protecting our many significant structures, landscapes, and artifacts, Buckhead Heritage is interested in preserving Buckhead’s intangible resources. Please visit our current preservation efforts, including: our Oral History Project and a Landowner Assistance Page for those interested in preserving their own historic property.

Restoration

Restoration is defined as the act or process of accurately depicting the form, features, and character of a property, landscape, or artifact as it appeared at a particular time in history. See how Buckhead Heritage has successfully restored Harmony Grove Cemetery and has been involved in other efforts of restoration in the Buckhead Community.

Recent Work

Thanks to contributions from its members and corporate supporters in the past year, Buckhead Heritage was able to complete important projects that further its mission to sustain the quality of life in Buckhead by identifying, preserving, and promoting the community's historic resources. Here are just a few highlights of the organization's recent work:

In 2011, Buckhead Heritage served on the steering committee for the Buckhead Greenspace Action Plan, which created an innovative vision for an interconnected network of parks, trails, and greenspaces in Buckhead that will interweave opportunities for history, art, and environmental protection into a meaningful system that enhances the quality of life in the community. Last year, Buckhead Heritage completed a historic resources survey to serve as a foundation for project planning for this system.

Buckhead Heritage continues to add educational content to the website so visitors can learn about Buckhead's history, historic buildings, and historical markers. Start exploring this resource now!

Buckhead Heritage held several fascinating educational programs including Fifty Years Later: The Orly Air Crash Remembered, A Walk Through Time in North Buckhead, and Buckhead's Native American History.
