About Friends of Hollin Hills

Friends of Hollin Hills is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, enhancing, and educating the public about the Hollin Hills Historic District, which has been recognized by both the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. 

Friends' goals are to preserve the Hollin Hills Historic District as an historically significant example of mid-century modern architecture and community development and to further the public's enjoyment of this nationally recognized resource.  Friends has established four initiatives to meet these goals:

• Education of the Public
• Architectural Preservation
• Parks Preservation
• Neighborhood Amenities

Friends is planning projects in each of these areas over the coming year.
