History of the Foundation
The volunteers keeping a legacy alive.
Our Mission
Preservation, education, and community
The John William Boone Heritage Foundation exists to preserve the Boone Home and share the story of one of America’s most remarkable musicians. What began as an effort to save a historic house has grown into an ongoing mission of preservation, education, and community.
How We Got Here
Saved, restored, and listed
Through the dedication of volunteers, community partners, and the City of Columbia, the home was preserved, restored, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today the Foundation continues that work — hosting tours, events, and programs that keep Boone’s legacy present.
