The Dave & Lorna Patton Historic Preservation Society, Inc.

The Dave & Lorna Patton Historic Preservation Society, Inc. is committed to preserving the historic Dave Patton House as a living testament to African American history, education, fortitude, and pride. More than a historic home, the Dave Patton House is a place where stories of determination, entrepreneurship, faith, and community leadership are preserved to educate, inspire, and empower future generations.

By restoring this landmark and developing meaningful educational and cultural programs, we honor those who overcame extraordinary challenges and created opportunities for others. Every exhibit, program, and restoration project serves as a reminder that our history is not simply to be remembered — it is to be experienced, shared, and passed on.

We invite individuals, families, businesses, foundations, and community partners to become stewards of this legacy. Your financial support is an investment in preserving an irreplaceable piece of history, expanding educational opportunities for our youth, and ensuring that the courage, resilience, and achievements of those who came before us continue to inspire generations yet to come.

Together, we can preserve the past, educate the present, and build a future rooted in knowledge, fortitude, and pride.

Your donation directly supports the restoration, maintenance, and programming of the Dave Patton House. By giving, you help preserve an important chapter of history while investing in future educational initiatives.
