Founded in 1972 by Ida Friday and Georgia Kyser, the society works to save and restore Chapel Hill's natural and man-made, historic artifacts.

In addition, the group works with the Town of Chapel Hill and other local governments to promote government zoning of historic locales and districts, and it promotes legislation that could aid conservationist efforts.
