Landmarks Illinois Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Awards

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.
