Loudoun Preservation Society (LPS) was formed in December 2008 from the merger of two organizations: the Loudoun Restoration and Preservation Society (LRPS) and the Preservation Society of Loudoun County (PSLC). Both organizations were founded in the 1970s and have been active in many preservation causes.  In 1977 LRPS began sponsoring August Court Days in downtown Leesburg and continued the event until 2005.  Each year the organization awarded monetary grants to individuals or groups to fund preservation projects.  Since its inception, nearly one hundred grants have been awarded for a total of over $880,000.  LRPS also worked to preserve the Paxton mansion, known as Carlheim, in Leesburg.  The focus of PSLC has been on local and state legislative issues that concerned historic preservation and open space and environmental protection.  The organization published The Citizens Guide to the Historical, Cultural and Environmental Organizations in Loudoun County.  PSLC recently formed an alliance of heritage and environmental organizations called the Loudoun County Preservation and Conservation Coalition.
