HEARTS Circle Membership

Membership gifts are essential to propel HEARTS’ impact on local historic preservation, research, documentation, and presentation of our place-based community programs that explore and share the history, ecology, art, and stories connected to our region.

  • Historic preservation and ecological conservation of all sites and properties in the Piedmont region.

  • Respectful and responsible exploration and recognition of the vast history and ecology of our region.

  • Share stories, enhance connections, and ignite personal inspiration through music, dance, drama, poetry, and visual arts at Hearts Happening events.

  • Honor all those from the past with connections to our lands by conducting and documenting genealogical research and sharing our findings with the public to enhance our collective understanding of those who lived here before us.

  • Provide a publicly accessible and searchable Artifact Database for museum collections and for private citizens’ collections.

  • Facilitate financially sound business management and activities for all Affiliate non-profit sites.

  • Seek connections to the Carolina Thread Trail and local greenway networks utilizing trails to the historic structures with identification signage for historic structures, ruins, flora, and fauna.

  • Develop outdoor spaces for the arts, gardens, reflection spaces, community events, and educational opportunities.
