Join Columbus Landmarks Tuesday August 5, 2025 from 11:45 AM to 4:45 PM, starting at our HQ located at 57 Jefferson Ave 43215 for our 2025 Most Endangered Properties Advocacy Bus Tour. Our prestigious advocacy tour main goal is to create awareness of places under threat of loss and how to advocate for their future. This tour is EXCLUSIVELY for our Columbus Landmarks Membership & advance registration is required!
About the Tour
Attendees will be on a coach bus, with a bathroom, for our multi-stop tour of our annual Most Endangered Sites. We will board outside of the Columbus Landmarks headquarters at The Jefferson Center. Attendees will hear about the history and preservation needs of each building while on the way to each site. At each endangered place, representative(s) of the ownership/developers have been invited to share with us their plans for the historic site. Attendees will be provided a public relations contact to direct their questions and concerns offline from this tour. Our Most Endangered Sites listing is announced each year at our Members-Only (free) Annual Meeting; we will update our advocacy tour itinerary HERE > https://tinyurl.com/yzkcmser < after the listing is announced.
Our Three Principles of Engagement
To be effective advocates for our sites and other future greater Columbus preservation needs, we are asking all attendees to abide by the following three principles of engagement.
1. Mindful, Civic Participation:
Site owners and/or developers will be presenting us with a short presentation of their plans for the site. They are being asked to provide a contact for questions from the public during their presentation. In the interest of time, we are asking attendees to listen and direct commentary to the provided contact. Press may be in and around this event. We love the enthusiasm of our membership engaging in civic dialogue and want participants to simply be mindful in their conversations that what is said could become public.
2. Radical Inclusion:
We are all on this journey to protect our architectural and cultural heritages. We come to this collective space from different walks of life but with a shared enthusiasm for learning and doing; we ask all to be respectful of differences in understanding, knowledge, political affiliation, and comfort. We are all here for the same reasons, to save these buildings and advocate for the best outcome possible for our city.
3. Leave No Trace:
Columbus Landmarks respects our environment and is committed to leaving no physical trace of our tour through litter, etc. Please make sure you keep track of all of your belongings and recycle / throw away refuse in appropriate bins.
