Organizational Consulting

Thomasville Landmarks supports preservation in Thomasville and the Thomas County area. We will assist any non-profit group or community organization that has historic sites, properties or resources. In the past, we have assisted churches in the writing of work plans. We have worked with small community groups that are preserving our rural cemeteries and landscapes. We have conducted workshops and training for towns wanting to establish local and national register districts. With a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, we are working with community groups to increase their capacity.
