Landmark Columbus Foundation

In 2015, Heritage Fund launched the program Landmark Columbus to increase the focus on the landmark projects of the Columbus area with the mission to care for, celebrate, and advance the cultural heritage of Columbus, Indiana and like-minded communities. LCF accomplishes Progressive Preservation efforts that assist in caring for buildings, landscapes, and art in Bartholomew County. It serves to educate and advocate for these cultural resources through research, conservation, fundraising, and documentation. It also runs two programmatic arms:
