Meet Bob Giles, Board Member Historic Port Royal, Inc

From boyhood, Bob has maintained a keen and abiding interest in history, architecture, and archaeology. That lifelong passion has translated into decades of active involvement in historic preservation.

Bob is a former president and board member of Preservation Virginia and has served as a board member of the Museum of the Confederacy. He currently serves on the boards of the Historic Polegreen Church Foundation, the Rural Plains Foundation, and Historic Port Royal, Inc. In addition, he serves on the Capital Projects Committee of the American Civil War Museum.

When not advising clients or pursuing his avocational interests, Bob and Faye delight in the enormous blessing of being grandparents to seven extraordinary grandchildren.
