About HSF
Historic Staunton
Foundation is a non-profit organization promoting the
preservation and revitalization of the rich architectural
and historic resources in Staunton, Virginia. Staunton is a
unique community of cohesive neighborhoods and a central
business district with an impressive inventory of historic
buildings and landscapes most dating from the City's late
19th century boom-town growth. Since 1971, HSF has promoted
historic preservation through the creation of 5 historic
districts, revitalization of the downtown business district,
creation of a local historic preservation ordinance,
technical rehabilitation support for property owners, and
most recently, the development of our new R.R. Smith Center
for History and Art.
Successful preservation
organizations lead their communities by advocating quality
urban planning. HSF strives to strike a balance
between programs that help the individual member with
specific rehab advice and providing guidance to the
community as a whole.
HSF works one-on-one
with property owners, provides preservation workshops,
conducts public meetings, and provides staff assistance to
the City of Staunton. More than 550 individuals,
families and businesses support HSF through membership and
volunteerism. With a strong membership base
supporting its mission, HSF can continue to have a positive
influence on our community's development.
Staunton's
revitalized urban core and neighboring historic
neighborhoods offer locals & tourists various
restaurants, shops, cinemas, art galleries,
theaters, museums, and scenic ventures. Check
out our page on
Staunton's architecture and our page on
free walking tours. For more information
about the downtown, see the
City's website and

Every
year, HSF hosts a Christmas House Tour to celebrate
fine historic preservation and tight-knit
neighborhoods. Last year, we toured Sherwood Avenue.
