PRESERVING A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK Historic buildings Rural landscapes A historic American village Join Us Waterford Foundation

When you stroll the streets of the Waterford National Historic Landmark in Waterford, Virginia, you’ll step back in time. First settled in 1733 by Quakers from Pennsylvania, it is an extraordinary collection of 18th- and 19th-century buildings set within 1,420 acres of rolling farmland located just one hour from Washington, D.C.

Support Our Mission

Your donation helps with the ongoing preservation of land and buildings — dating back to the village’s founding in 1733 — as well as educational programs such as the Second Street School program, where children study actual students who attended the one-room African-American school in 1880, the Waterford Craft School which teaches traditional made-by-hand skills and the Waterford Fair, which provides a venue for master artisans and showcases the history and beauty of Waterford.
