Thank you, Presidential Bank!
We've met your challenge!
Our friends and supporters are incomparable! Again, you've helped us more than meet a challenge--in this case, Presidential Bank's matching grant of $20,000 for the Old School if we could raise $20,000 by March 31. We not only made the goal, we exceeded it by more than $6,000. Thanks to Presidential Bank and those listed below, we made a grand total of $46,160!
Every dollar of these donations will go to reduce the remaining debt on the reconstruction of the historic Waterford Old School and its beautiful new auditorium--full again with classical music and blue grass songs, community picnics, weddings, parties, classes, book talks, wine tastings, and the incomparable Waterford Fair.
Thank you to Bruce Cleveland, Presidential Bank, and all those who helped us meet another challenge to preserve historic Waterford.

School House rocks again
with Janet Emma & Seven West
 Join us on Saturday April 20 for another Old School House Rocks concert featuring WAMMIE-award-winning singer/songwriter Janet Emma & Seven West and her Waterford musician friends Wil Gravatt, Angus Mackay, David Kitchen, and Robbie Magruder. Special guests are 21-year-old guitar phenom Colin Thompson, and One Horse Town's Julia Kasdorf. Plus, the musicians of Chicken Noodle Hammer! The first School House Rocks concert last November was a sellout, and this one will again bring impressive local talent to Waterford for a blast of an evening. Tickets for this benefit concert are $15 each online (or by phone or just stop by the office Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.); funds raised go to the preservation of historic Waterford, Virginia. The doors of Waterford's Old School Auditorium open at 6:30 for this 7 p.m. concert. The Old School is located at 40222 Fairfax Street, Waterford, Virginia. Purchase tickets online at the Foundation's website (scroll down to Old School House Rocks tickets). |
SPRING FARM TOUR Waterford Farm & Village Days
 | |
An ad from 1903 offers Mill products for man and beast.
|
During Loudoun's Spring Farm Tour May 18 and 19 the Waterford Foundation opens its doors and open spaces for visitors to enjoy, in the town that once was the bustling center of Loudoun's agricultural prosperity. On this spring weekend a blacksmith will once again forge iron into horseshoes on the street, and a beekeeper will be at work as beekeepers historically have been on surrounding farms. Docents will lead tours describing the village's agricultural history, and the commercial and cultural buildings that are part of that history--the Mill, the "Chair Manufactory," the Forge, the Corner Store, and the one-room Second Street School will be open for visitors.  | |
A horseshoe takes shape in Waterford's Forge.
|
Locally made furniture will be on exhibit at the Chair Factory on Second Street, and the Corner Store will also be open for business. On the Phillips Farm, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about stream monitoring and take a walk on the mile-long interpretive trail. We'll provide a complete schedule of events closer to the event. |
