For the past 29 years, 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.
The annual Landmarks Illinois Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Awards celebrates its 30th Anniversary this year! Join us as we honor the nine award-wining preservation efforts and the people who made them possible at an in-person ceremony and cocktail reception in Chicago. Guests who wish to join remotely can view a live, virtual presentation of the ceremony for free with registration. The event is open to the public. Registration is required.
