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

• Preserve the Hollin Hills Historic District as a historically significant example of mid-century modern architecture and community development
