Chartered in 1966 to save Coral Gables’ iconic Douglas Entrance, The Villagers, Miami-Dade’s oldest historic preservation organization has been a significant force preserving the cultural and architectural heritage of the area. The organization has awarded grants to endangered sites and organizations, and awarded University scholarships to students with a focus on historic preservation.
Together, we can safeguard our history, honoring those who came before us and inspiring those who will follow.
The Villagers organization has done so much for so many.
