Columbia Historic Preservation Society — Attraction in Columbia

The staff and volunteers of the Columbia historic preservation society are exceptionally kind, hospitable, and very knowledgeable.

The train platform is unbelievable. All of the details are exceptional. We were able to see so many of the houses in our neighborhood, and in the older parts of the city. It was a great 3D view of Columbia. Amazing details.

The holdings of the museum are one of a kind. Great info on Columbia’s past including the Underground Railroad. The collection of documents and photos is superb. You must stop in and research our town. The place is also a Mecca for Albatwitch folklore and Merch. Don’t miss this FABULOUS PLACE.
