CoMo Preservation’s mission is to preserve the historic architecture of Columbia, Missouri.
Learn about your library's evolution, from the first attempt to establish services in the 1840s to the building of the current Columbia Public Library, headquarters of the Daniel Boone Regional Library system.
Have you ever thought about researching your home or your family’s home, but you didn’t know where to begin? Join us Tuesday December 9, 6-7:45pm at the DBRL Columbia Library to learn about how to use resources available from the Boone County Recorder of Deeds office to research your home or a historic property in Columbia.
