Landmarks Illinois Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Awards

About this event

Since 1994, the Landmarks Illinois Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Awards has honored individuals, organizations, projects and programs whose work demonstrate a commitment to historic preservation. A generous grant from the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation enables Landmarks Illinois to present awards annually in various categories. The awards ceremony is held each fall.

Join us November 6 for our annual awards ceremony recognizing exceptional efforts in preserving, restoring, and revitalizing historic places in Illinois! Our annual awards program honors exceptional preservation leaders and community-led preservation efforts that spark economic development, contribute to a sustainable built environment and improve the quality of life in communities across the state. The public event will feature a sit-down awards ceremony and cocktail reception.
