Eden Preservation Society - About Information

About The Eden Preservation Society:

In 1976, a group of Eden citizens who were concerned that their local history would become lost to future generations, united to form the Eden Preservation Society. The Society was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) not for profit, privately-funded organization for the primary purpose of preserving and protecting the rich heritage and history of the historic areas of Leaksville, Spray and Draper within the city limits of Eden, North Carolina.

Since that time, an elected board, members and volunteers have worked together to create and maintain the unique attractiveness offered by these historic areas.

In cooperation with the Eden Historic Preservation Commission, EPS solicits the help of private citizens, businesses and community leaders who are interested in preserving local historic sites, records and artifacts.

Member involvement is very important to the Eden preservation Society's functions. It is only with community involvement and local support that the Society can continue to fulfill its mission. Anyone with an interest in history and a willingness to contribute his or her time and talents to preserving our heritage is cordially invited to join!
