The Bluffton Historical Preservation Society was established, over a quarter century ago, to protect, preserve and promote the cultural heritage and history of St. Luke's Parish (est. 1767) through education, marketing, hands-on preservation of buildings and sites, maintenance of an historical archive and operation of the Heyward House Historic Center. In 1998, the Bluffton Historical Preservation Society purchased the Heyward House. Their Caldwell Archive is one of the largest collections of archival resource materials in the state. Vision Statement: Bluffton Historical Preservation Society, Inc. will be a recognized local and regional force for the promotion of historical, cultural, and arts activities through its Heyward House Historic Center, Educational Outreach, and Community Partnerships.
