2026 Most Endangered Sites Advocacy Bus Tour
Go beyond the Most Endangered Sites list — see the sites, hear the stories, and help shape what comes next.
Each year, Columbus Landmarks names its Most Endangered Sites — historic properties across the city facing vacancy, deterioration, or development pressure that puts their futures in question. The Annual Most Endangered Properties Advocacy Bus Tour is your chance to see them up close.
Board a comfortable coach bus at our offices at the Jefferson Center and spend the afternoon visiting each site alongside fellow Columbus Landmarks members. Along the way, you’ll hear the history and architectural significance of each place and learn about the challenges and opportunities ahead. Where possible, we invite representatives from the ownership or development team to share their perspective on the property’s future.
It’s a rare opportunity to engage directly with some of Columbus’s most compelling preservation stories and to be part of the conversation about what comes next.
