The Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society is a nonprofit organization established in 1966 to preserve and promote the historic resources of Tuscaloosa County. It operates five historic landmarks, including the Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion, Old Tavern, Battle-Friedman House, McGuire-Strickland House, and Murphy African-American Museum, with an emphasis on conveying each site's architecture, interiors, landscapes, and social history. The society is described as one of the strongest preservation groups in the Southeast.

Its central office is located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, within the Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion at 1305 Greensboro Avenue, and members contribute through a recommendation board and volunteer work while receiving benefits such as free tours and premier access to events like annual home tours, fundraisers, and the Ramble trip. A recent development includes a partnership with Visit Tuscaloosa to support Downtown Walking Tours in 2026.
