Waterford Foundation’s Mission StatementThe mission of the Waterford Foundation is to preserve the historic buildings and the open spaces of the National Historic Landmark District of Waterford, Virginia; and through education, to increase the public’s knowledge of life and work in an early American rural community.

Thank you, Fran.
We honor Fran for her accomplishments, integrity, kindness, and sense of humor—but most of all for the powerful legacy she has left for the Fair and the Foundation.

Waterford was settled in 1733 by Amos Janney, a Quaker from Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Janney was soon followed by others and Waterford became the thriving center of a community of small farms. Because the Quakers were grain farmers, a grist mill was very important to them, and the first settlement included a mill near the site of the present structure with a few houses clustered nearby. The settlement that would become Waterford grew around Janney’s Mill. From the 1760s onward, Presbyterians, Methodists and Baptists would also establish a presence here.
A few residents took part in the Revolutionary War; surprisingly, not all Quakers who saw service contrary to the Quaker principles on nonviolence were read out of Meeting. After the Revolution, Waterford grew rapidly with a wide variety of businesses, and by the 1830s, Joseph Martin’s Gazeteer wrote:
Villagers even produced Shakespearean plays for local audiences.
The Quakers were joined by Scotch-Irish craftsmen from Pennsylvania who were responsible for much of the construction of the village.
While some early residents were slaveholders, the fact that Waterford had a thriving antebellum free black community was unusual for pre-Civil War

Fran holds a pewter plate given in recognition for the Waterford Homes Tour and Crafts Exhibit from LCVA as the “Best Loudoun Tourism Event of the Year.” The Fair was awarded this distinction four times.
The Waterford Foundation dedicates this Fair to Fran Holmbraker, who served as Chair of the Waterford Homes Tour & Crafts Exhibit for 19 years. During her tenure, this premier East Coast event was awarded Best Loudoun Tourism Event of the Year an unprecedented four times.
The best testaments to Fran’s valued legacy to the Foundation, to Loudoun County, to preservation, and to education about heritage crafts come from the volunteers who have worked with her. Here are some of their remarks shared publicly in 2010, when Fran was presented with the highest honor awarded by the Loudoun Convention & Visitors’ Association, the Judy Patterson Award.
“Fran Holmbraker exemplifies the same unique combination of professional and personal enthusiasm and tireless energy promoting the heritage and history of Loudoun County that Judy Patterson [embodied]. For 15 years as Waterford Homes Tour & Crafts Exhibit Chair, Fran has diligently and creatively kept true to the event’s mission of educating attendees in 18th and 19th century heritage crafts, homes, and music incorporating many elements from Loudoun County history. She has kept to strict standards and values in keeping it the premier and best attended event – no mean feat as the number of events in the county has increased tenfold in the past 15 years.
Organizing and making such a massive, complex event successful requires incredible leadership skills. A Loudoun County native, Fran has developed a following of more than 400 loyal volunteers who are the nuts and bolts of the event. Working with hundreds of volunteers, applicants, crafts people, Waterford village residents, the Waterford Foundation Board, county residents and businesses, she is able to form personal and professional relationships with each. Her warmth and humor are well known. Her respect for, and understanding of, the needs of others results in long-term relationships that inspire loyalty.”
Brief History of Waterford
“Waterford contains 70 dwelling houses, 2 houses of public worship, 1 free for all denominations, the other a Friends’ meeting house, 6 mercantile stores, 2 free schools, 4 taverns, a manufacturing flour mill, and 1 saw, grist and plaister mill, and (in the vicinity) 2 small cotton manufactories. The mechanics are 1 tanner, 2 house joiners, 2 cabinet makers, 1 chair maker and painter, 1 boot and shoe manufacturer, 2 hatters, 1 tailor, &c. Population about 400 persons, of whom 2 are regular physicians.”

Virginia. Waterford’s Quaker roots and the abolitionist sentiments of most Quakers may have encouraged black settlement here.
By the time of the Civil War, most Waterfordians strongly opposed secession, a stand extremely unpopular among the majority in Loudoun County. For most of the war, the Waterford area was a no-man’s land that neither Federals nor Confederates were able to control for long. As a result of Confederate harassment, miller Samuel Means formed the Independent Loudoun Rangers, the only organized cavalry troop in Virginia to fight for the Union.
In 1871, the railroad was extended from Leesburg to Clarke’s Gap (where Routes 7 and 9 meet) thus bypassing Waterford. The philosophical isolation so obvious during the war was succeeded by a geographic isolation as commercial centers easily reached by rail took business away from Waterford. By the time of the Depression, many of the buildings had deteriorated badly. In the late 1930s, brothers Edward and Leroy Chamberlin, descendants of several old Waterford families, began to restore buildings in town and, in 1943, the Waterford Foundation was formed. This provided an impetus for residents, old and new, to work to preserve the village.
Today, Waterford’s buildings and rolling fields look much as they did 100 years ago. The village is a Loudoun County Historic and Cultural site. In 1970, the entire village with the farmland surrounding it was designated a National Historic Landmark.

FridayThe Dormers15635 Second Street
3 on the map
Since both Mahlon Janneys had married women named Sarah, the younger Mrs. Janney was known as Sarah Janney, Jr. It was this woman who, in 1816, bought the land where The Dormers now stands. The house was built soon after. The house and mill passed to John Schooley (1794-1868) in the 1830s. John had been disowned by the Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1831 for marrying a cousin. The marriage, incidentally, was performed informally at John’s house when a minister happened by. The latter was rewarded with an apple as his fee. John’s son Milton, who had remained in the Quaker fold, continued the mill operation until his own death in 1908.
Initially quite spacious, this house was expanded in the 1940s when the north wing was added along with the sunroom on the south side. A second floor was added to the north wing in the 1960s by the present owner.
An extensive third addition affords the convenience of modern living combined with the warmth of a fine old house. The owner and her architect worked with the easement holder, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which protects the house in perpetuity from inappropriate change, to develop a design which would meet its rigorous requirements and which was then approved by the Loudoun County Historic District Review Committee.
The Dormers is open to the public through the courtesy of Mrs. Mark N. Beach.
Open All Three DaysSecond Street SchoolSpecial Presentation on Friday 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.. Experience a typical day at school in the 19th century.
The one-room school on Second Street was built in 1867 to serve as a school and church for Waterford’s African-American community. It is the second oldest one-room schoolhouse in Loudoun County.
The school began in 1866 in the home of teacher Sarah A. Steer under the auspices of the Freedmen’s Bureau in 1865, with additional funds provided by the Friend’s Association of Philadelphia, Waterford’s local Quaker meeting, and a “colored educational board.” Black children from the village and nearby farms attended the school until 1957, when it was closed by the school board.
The Waterford Foundation purchased the schoolhouse in 1977 because it represents a vital part of the history of Waterford and Loudoun County. The building stands now very much as it was built.
With a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Foundation developed a living history program designed for schoolchildren to experience a typical day in the school during the 1880s. They take on the identities of the African-American pupils in the 1880s using biographies derived from the U.S. census data on Waterford. The classroom is furnished as it would have been at the time. A costumed docent teaches from period texts, including lessons in arithmetic, penmanship, reading, and geography. Children also take part in 19th-century games.
The Second Street School program, staffed by volunteers, is offered at no charge to Loudoun County fourth grade classes. Approximately 1,500 students are registered each year, totaling more than 30,000 since the program began.

Friday William O. Russell House40231 Fairfax Street
1 on the map
The land on which this house was built was part of Quaker Amos Janney’s purchase of 400 acres in the 1730s. By 1816 the land had been subdivided into portions along Fairfax and High Streets. This lot was one of the few that had a home built on it, probably shortly after blacksmith Reuben Schooley purchased it in 1817.
The most dramatic time in the property’s history was the morning of August 27, 1862, while the home was owned by Mrs. Lydia Virts. The Independent Loudoun Virginia Rangers, a locally raised Union cavalry unit, were billeted in the Baptist church across High Street. A Confederate force moved through the cornfield behind the Virts house and ordered the family of seven on the floor. A fierce fight ensued. The Confederates summoned Mrs. Virts to carry a flag of truce to the Rangers, and the third time the Rangers surrendered, having suffered a number of casualties. Mrs. Virts remained in the home until it was sold at auction in February 1917.
Neighbor Edith Walker paid $675 for the property. Two months later, William Orrison Russell purchased the house. The circa 1817 house was dilapidated, and was taken down. By 1918, at the cost of $1200, Eb Divine had built for Russell the brick American foursquare house you see today. Divine’s signature wraparound porch is seen on several other Waterford homes. A two-story porch at the rear was later enclosed with fish-scale shingles, also seen on the dormers and similar to those on other homes in the village. The property is one of few in town retaining its original outbuildings: barn, ice house, root cellar, and well house.
In the 1930s, the Russell’s son-in-law operated a doctor’s office in a back room. Mr. Russell died in 1937, leaving the house to his four daughters and his widow, Molly Compher Russell. Molly died in 1957, and the William Nickels family bought it from the daughters in 1958. The present owners succeeded the Nickels in June 2013, making them only the third owners of the house in its nearly 100-year history.
The William O. Russell House is open through the courtesy of the present owners, Bob and Stephanie Thompson.
FridayEphraim Schooley15547 Second Street
5 on the map
The oldest part of this house is the south end, which John Morrow, a weaver, built between 1821 and 1825, shortly before his death. Quaker Ephraim Schooley (1786-1867) acquired the property in the 1830s.
Renowned saddler Asa Brown (1794-1872) lived here in the 1850s and 60s. The Civil War split his large family down the middle. “Plucky” Asa, a veteran of the War of 1812, was a loyal Unionist, as was his son Turner and two daughters. Sons Charlie and “Ab” were “rabid secesh” as was wife Aurena and a third daughter. Turner and Charlie had to be kept from killing each other, but all managed to survive the war, though Charlie took a Yankee bullet at the First Battle of Bull Run.
William F. Myers built the northern end of the house, and both halves (two separate dwellings) were sold to H. C. Bennett in 1876. From 1919 to 1959 the property belonged to the H. B. Parker family, another feisty bunch. Harvey, a blacksmith, came home from WWI, feuded with his brother Fred, who had run the smithy in his absence, and the two never spoke again. Mr. and Mrs. John G. Lewis purchased the property in 1959 and restored and finally united the two residences as one called the Parker-Bennett House.
Mr. and Mrs. William Chewning added a west wing in the 1970s, granting an easement to the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission.
Mr. and Mrs. John J. Donovan built a second western addition in 1989.
They also purchased three and one-half acres of pasture at the rear of the property in 1991 and granted a protective easement to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The present owners, Schuyler Richardson and Tom Edmonds, commissioned T. H. McGinn to design and build a new garage in 1997.
The Ephraim Schooley House is open to through the courtesy of its current owners, the Edmonds family.

SaturdayLivery Stable15483 Second Street
8 on the map
The Livery Stable served the transportation needs of Waterford from at least 1851 to the mid-twentieth century, when it was converted first to an antique shop and, in the 1990s, to a residence. The 1851 deed mentions the property in conjunction with a hotel/store in the center of the village (the Pink House), suggesting it may have served customers of that enterprise.
In the early 1890s, it was the site of T.C. Baker’s “new and nobby livery stable,” featuring “fine carriages, neat buggies, spacious wagons [and] graceful carts,” not to mention “excellent horses.” Those horses could be a problem; the town ordinances prohibited the keeper of livery stables from accumulating more than one cart load of manure at one time from June through November.
At the turn of the century, a multi-structure fire near the Livery Stable made a hero of Albert Shawen, who “stayed on top of one of the barns until the hair on his head was burned completely off, and his face and arms scorched.”
The Livery Stable’s most harrowing event occurred on July 23, 1900, when a number of people gathered in the shop to wait out an evening thunderstorm. A visiting Spanish-American War veteran, Warren O’Hara, exchanged words with local farmboy Ernest Mullen, about a young Nettie Rinker. The argument escalated, resulting in Mullen’s killing O’Hara with a club. A local posse tracked down the shaken killer almost immediately. He was convicted of murder but served a short sentence.
In the early 20th century, Ed Beans owned the livery operations; he rented buggies, carriages, and horses to everyone from traveling salesmen to villagers needing transportation to a church picnic. One of his horses, “Old John,” was a fine navigator. He was known to deliver his passengers to a favorite bar in Maryland, then when the imbibers were no longer able to “drive,” deliver them home safely, often sound asleep.
The Livery Stable is open through the courtesy of Mr. Peter Thomas.
Friday & Saturday Samuel Hough House15527 Second Street
6 on the map
This federal house was built in 1819 for his mother, Lydia, built by Samuel Hough for his mother Lydia, who paid $240 for the land in 1817. Samuel was the great-great-grandson of Richard Hough, a Quaker who fled religious persecution in England. Also in 1817, Samuel married a non-Quaker, and in 1818, he became a justice of the peace. For these actions Samuel was disowned by Waterford’s Fairfax Meeting. Lydia paid Samuel $3,500 for the house—an enormous sum at that time. It may have been her way of helping Samuel finance his many entrepreneurial activities.
The house was probably built by the same person who built the William Hite Hough House three doors up the street. William was Samuel’s first cousin. The houses were constructed at about the same time, and both have the same three-bay two-room first floor plan. The interior woodwork decoration in both houses was likely carved by the same hands, but in Samuel’s house “it is quite remarkable—much more elaborate than one would expect in an otherwise simple village house.”
This is one of the more elegantly embellished buildings in Waterford. The original kitchen, which was separated from the main house, was in what is now the basement level. A cold cellar built of stone in the shape of a beehive is now a sub-basement.
The brick façade is laid in Flemish bond. Façade openings are topped with wooden keystone lintels cleverly carved to look like stone. The corner carving under the eaves is unusual and striking. The front door has six panels (a “cross and bible” pattern).
This house is one of the very few that has an interior as well as an exterior preservation easement, protecting the house in perpetuity from inappropriate change.
The Samuel Hough House is open through the courtesy of its current owners, Mr. and Mrs. Neil Hughes.

SaturdayCatoctin Presbyterian Church15565 High Street
2 on the map
Catoctin Presbyterian Church, celebrating its 250th anniversary, was the third Presbyterian congregation east of the Blue Ridge, settled by Scots-Irish from Pennsylvania.
Rev. Amos Thompson, a 1760 graduate of Princeton College, founded Kittocktin Church, now “Catoctin,” around 1764, one mile southeast of Waterford. The log building no longer exists, but gravestones still stand. In 1814, the Presbyterians bought two lots in the village and built a brick church with a gallery around three sides of the sanctuary.
Catoctin shared a pastor with Leesburg Presbyterian until 1834, when it joined the Leesburg Church. In 1852, 11 members re-formed the nondenominational Catoctin Free Church, which stood near the intersection of local routes 704 and 9. They worshiped there for 22 years and returned to their former church in 1874.
In 1878, the building caught fire. It was rebuilt in 1882 on the same site, with many of the bricks re-used, at a cost of $4,000. The Loudoun Telephone wrote on 25 May 1883:
“The Presbyterians…have taken a ‘new departure’ in church architecture…they have adopted the modern Gothic style, with pointed ceiling and open framework and exposed roof, on the interior, all of which is finished in the best North Carolina pine. All the wood work of the interior is of the same material, dressed and varnished, which gives a very pleasing effect to the eye. The interior is light and airy, with excellent acoustic properties. The exterior of the building is broken by buttresses on either side, and on the front at either corner, by an arched and covered door-way, opening into a central vestibule.”
In 1884 the church added a Victorian manse, demolished in 1952 when the present manse was built. In 1950 the congregation added a religious education building and installed stained glass windows honoring former congregants.
Reverend David Douthett has been the pastor since 2004. History, tradition, a farming legacy and close-knit fellowship are vital parts of the church today.
The Catoctin Presbyterian Church is open courtesy of the grace of God and 250 years’ worth of faithful members.
Saturday Smallwood-Graham House40171 Main Street
9 on the map
Carpenter Leven Smallwood (c. 1765-1812) built the three-bay section of this house at the right shortly after he bought the lot in 1810. It was originally a one-and-a-half story brick structure on a stone foundation, with two rooms in the basement, two on the street level, and a sleeping loft above. A one-story brick addition was later added to the left. Quakers Isaac Walker (1781-1851) and Jacob Mendenhall (1788-1822) operated a dry goods store here as early as 1816, and Walker purchased the property at auction in 1833. Robert Graham, a partially disabled veteran of the Loudoun Rangers, bought the building in 1879 for $325. He removed the half story of brick from the right side and added a full second story clad in German siding.
Graham had been shot by Confederates when he tried to escape en route to prison in Richmond, crippling his right arm, He eventually received a monthly disability pension of $11.25, and, despite his handicap, earned a postwar living as a skilled carriage painter. The Waterford Foundation purchased this house in 1952 to protect it from deterioration and with the hope of selling it to a preservation-minded buyer. Architectural historian John G. Lewis and his wife bought it five years later. They installed modern conveniences while carefully restoring original features. For many years until recently, Douglas Lea and wife Julie owned the property. Ms. Lea, a master gardener as well as an accomplished artist, designed the grounds. The present owners have added a standing-seam roof, rebuilt the chimneys and drilled a new well, superseding the old hand-dug well that had served for many, many years.
The house has also been known as The Peaceable Kingdom, the name Julie Lea chose for her artist’s shop in the building, and the Graham House.
The Smallwood-Graham House is open through the courtesy of Bill and Sue McGuire.

Sunday (12 - 3 p.m.)Trouble Enough Indeed15552 Second Street
4 on the map
Trouble Enough Indeed was brought to Waterford and reconstructed from 1970 to 1980 by William and Carol Hunley.
Visitors to the Waterford Fair in the early 1970s enjoyed watching Trouble Enough Indeed take shape from the components of two log homes ca. 1850 and 1886 from Lewisdale in Montgomery County, Maryland, and an 1876 frame house from Mathews County, Virginia. Located about three miles apart at Lewisdale, the log houses were tobacco farm houses. The name comes from the registration of the front wing of the house in the Montgomery County deed book.
The house has been featured in Parade Magazine, in the Washington Post and on NPTV. It has been a frequent subject for painters and passing photographers.
The log houses were dismantled and every log, stick, stone and brick moved to Waterford, cleaned and returned to its original place in the house. Even the nails were reused. The log construction is German “V” notch and logs were stacked one on the other with no fastenings except in the top ring of logs on which the roof rests. In addition to the log houses and the frame house, artifacts from many well-known buildings are built into the fabric.
The dining room fireplace contains the brick from the log house, and on one side there is a brick from the old church at Jamestown. One the other side, there is a brick from Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg. The handmade bricks each show the print of the brick maker’s thumb from being turned when drying, and several contain cat and deer tracks made while the bricks were still soft. The long-leaf pine heart flooring and the dining room ceiling beams were salvaged from the Carlyle Apartments that were built in 1819. Many of the doors, windows and replacement timbers were salvaged from the house built in 1876 by William S. Hunley, shipwright, farmer and oysterman, at Retz in the Kingston Parish Glebe in Mathews County, Virginia. Several of the doors were made in the family shipyard and are fastened with boat nails.
Trouble Enough Indeed is open through the courtesy of Mr. William H. Hunley.
Saturday & SundayTalbott’s Tavern40162 Main Street
10 on the map
Joseph Talbott Jr., was born in Waterford in 1774 to a Maryland Quaker family, but was dismissed from the Fairfax Friends Meeting in 1796—“for joining in light company, frolicking and dancing.” By 1801, he further blotted his record by marrying a non-Quaker and owning or employing a slave.
He received an ordinary license in 1808 for the premises and converted the existing structures located at 40162 and 40170 Main Street to form a tavern/hotel. He paid $155 for the 9,600 square feet where he built this tavern/hotel; in 1813, he sold the successful business to fellow Presbyterian Nathaniel Manning for $5,600 and set up a new hotel in Frederick, Maryland.
The existing 18-th century structure at 40162 Main Street was a small two-story stone building with a contiguous one-story stone addition. The roofs were sheared off level and Talbott built additional floors above to tie 40162 and 40170 together to form the tavern. The new Talbott construction is post and beam with brick nogging in the exterior walls beneath modern wood siding. The Verizon building across the street is of similar construction. A covered second-story porch spanned the front of these three buildings providing entrance to the tavern, with shops below. Note the second-floor doorway that still remains.
Edward and Leroy Chamberlin, brothers from early Waterford families, began their extensive village restoration efforts with this structure, the Talbott House, and the Arch House (40176 Main Street). The stone walls, terrace and drainage in the rear were substantially reworked during this period. The Chamberlins were instrumental in restoring many other buildings here, at the forefront of a growing interest in preserving the village.
Loudoun County’s earliest bank was formed here in 1815. Several slave auctions were held here about 1820.The hotel/tavern went through a series of owners and businesses over the years, including a shoemaker’s shop, butcher shop in the 1880s. It operated as a hotel until the 1920s, at which point it became a residential property.
The Talbott’s Tavern is open through the courtesy of the present owners.

SundayJanney-Coates House40158 Main Street
11 on the map
This four-story brick town house occupies the end of the colloquially named “Arch House Row.” It was erected in the first quarter of the 19th century on land formerly owned by Joseph Janney, member of a locally prominent Quaker family. Janney, in turn,
had purchased it from William Hough, a very distant relative of the current owner.
Many of the homes on Arch Row were used for commercial purposes, and this one was a shoe shop at one time. By 1850 it was in use as the Evergreen Lodge #51 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, then it returned to being a residence.
For much of the 20th century it was the property of the African-American Coates family.
The building underwent extensive stabilization and restoration in the 1990s; owner Richard Storch and builder Rodney Diaz were able to contain all modern electrical, heating and plumbing elements in the reconstructed wooden portion at the back, leaving the front original portion looking appropriately 19th century. The interior preserves much original simple trim.
The Janney-Coates House is open through the courtesy of current owner Morgan Hough.
SundayOld WaOD40200 Church Street
7 on the map
This is one of several village buildings that look older than they actually are. In the 1970s, the late owner George Bentley constructed it using discarded railroad ties from the defunct Washington and Old Dominion Railroad, hence the playful name. “The Old W&OD trail,” part of the Northern Virginia Park Authority, now links Purcellville’s old train station via bicycle/walking trail through Fairfax County to Alexandria.
Mr. and Mrs. Bentley came to Waterford in the 1940s and raised a family, soon becoming active and loyal members of the nonprofit Waterford Foundation. They were tireless workers each year at the annual Homes Tour & Craft Exhibit. Ruth Bentley wrote a weekly column about Waterford for the Loudoun Times-Mirror through the 1960s. Both worked on houses they purchased in the village, all the while commuting to Washington, D. C., to work.
The log structure originally served as storage space for the Bentleys’ home on the hill behind the house (“The Hough House” at 40205 Main Street), but was made into a home recently. The land on which it is built had belonged to the extensive Hough family who dominated village history—off and on—from this lot from 1801 until the 1940s.
Apparently George Bentley was quite a mason. He built an impressive 10-foot-tall stone wall from the back of the house to the edge of the property to create a flat space for the house.
The present owners found the garden and outbuildings “in pretty good shape,” changing only the patio area. They also upgraded the plumbing—replacing a bathroom—and did some interior painting.
Old WaOD is open through the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Schmitt.

Built in the 1820s, the Old Mill supported the Waterford area’s agrarian economy as a grist mill until operations ceased in 1939. The existing brick mill replaced earlier wooden sawmill & gristmill buildings that produced lumber and flour during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
Since the beginnings of the Waterford Fair in 1943, the Old Mill has been at the heart of the Waterford Foundation’s mission to preserve the village’s historic buildings and open spaces. By providing a place to showcase and sell an immense variety of crafts over the years, it has helped to support talented artisans, raise funds for local preservation efforts, and increase awareness of the role that crafts and crafting have played in our Nation’s culture and heritage.

Waterford after three and a half years of WarFor Waterford and its surrounding farms, 1864 was the worst year of a terrible war. The hardest blow fell on November 30th when a large force of federal cavalry under Brig. Gen. Thomas C. Devin galloped toward the loyal village from the south torching mills, barns, stables, and haystacks, and sweeping up all livestock that could be driven. One local farmer estimated the herd at 1,500 cattle plus sheep and hogs. A horrified observer wrote of “smokes” rising as far as the eye could reach “and now at night the sky, all around the horizon, looks like a sunset reflection of the sky.”
In May 1864, sisters Lida, 19, and Lizzie Dutton, 24, along with next door neighbor Sarah Ann Steer, 26, founded the Waterford News, a brazenly pro-Union underground newspaper in Confederate Virginia. Their goals were “to cheer the weary Union soldier, render material aid to the sick and wounded—and to publicize Waterford’s predicament as a loyal town undefended by Northern troops.”
Over the final year of the war the trio published eight editions, a lively and cheerfully defiant little paper that boldly invited “the condemnation of our enemies.” The News proved popular with federal troops, who spread its fame far beyond the Potomac borderland. Its substantial proceeds (even at a modest 10 cents a copy) supported the work of the Sanitary Commission, a precursor of the Red Cross.
Our thanks to Meredith McMath, prize-winning local playwright and historian, for arranging for the three interpretive actors on behalf of the Waterford Foundation’s Education Committee.

Living HistoryJon Vrana, in Civil War apparel, will present news of the village at this period of the War in the center of town and will stroll with the “Waterford Girls” on Second and Main Streets. Feel free to talk with them about the news of the day.
Theywillbeavailable10-4onSaturdayandSunday.
Waterford Union of Churches CemeteryThis quiet cemetery, gracing the rise at the northeast edge of the village, takes its name not from the Civil War, but rather from its use by all of Waterford’s churches (except the Society of Friends).
From the early 1800s until the mid 20th century, it served the village and its surrounding farms. As was the custom, it was segregated by race. But Union and Confederate veterans, one-time foes, lie here peaceably, side by side.
Today your Earthly Host, Loudoun’s Jeff Ball, will point out the final resting places of some of the more interesting residents, whose markers range from imposing granite and marble to roughly flat stones pulled directly from a long-ago field.
The cemetery is managed by a board of trustees dedicated to maintaining the grounds and markers as an essential part of Waterford’s legacy. The Waterford Foundation, Waterford Citizens Association, United Daughters of the Confederacy, descendants of the Independent Loudoun Virginia Rangers, the history club of Loudoun Valley High School, and members of the Waterford community, support their work. Local Boy Scouts have contributed a number of much needed improvements. Most recently Josh Jovene, of Troop #969, crafted the new entry gate.

Meet Author Karen Schaufeld at The Red Barn on Saturday, Oct. 4 from 1-3 p.m. and buy an autographed, first edition of her book, The Lollipop Tree, a story of perseverance. This beautiful maple, once remarked upon for her tall stature and growing limbs, is left scarred from a terrible storm and must fight all odds to regain the strength and beauty once marveled at by passersby. The illustrator is our judge Kurt Schwarz.
“The Fair Through Your Eyes”
New this year! We urge Fairgoers to bring one of their own photos of this year’s Fair to the Red Barn to be included in a special new exhibit. Photos will be uploaded to a monitor for continuous running throughout the Fair.
Our Judge This year’s judge is Roy Sewall, whose interest in photography evolved from extensive travel. By 2001, he became a full-time professional photographer. Roy has done extensive photography work for government and nonprofit organizations, as well as private and commercial clients.
Roy’s first photography book, Our Potomac, from Great Falls through Washington, D.C., was published in 2005. His second, Great Falls and Mather Gorge, was published in 2009. Roy has been a guest on WETA’s program, Great Views of Washington, D.C., the lead photographer in the Best of D.C. 2009, and the lead still photographer in The Nature Conservancy’s video, The Potomac Gorge. Roy offers private and group instruction to novice and intermediate photographers; he is an instructor at the Capital Photography Center.
For those who may be beginning a collection or adding to an existing one,
the Red Barn is the place to visit for original art.
Art Excellence in photographic arts at the Red Barn Exhibit is awarded both in breadth and depth of achievement. Recognition this year is given to works in the following categories: architecture, portraiture, landscape, still-life, nature studies, photojournalism, The Waterford Fair/Scene and Best Loudoun Photograph.
