Founded in 1943, the Waterford Foundation is one of America’s first community-based historic preservation organizations. Our mission is to preserve the historic buildings and open spaces of the National Historic Landmark of Waterford, Virginia, and, through education, to increase the public’s knowledge of life and work in an early American rural community. We invite you to join us in fulfilling this mission as a Waterford Foundation member, donor, and/or volunteer. The Waterford Fair, along with other programs sponsored by the Waterford Foundation such as the Second Street School program and the Waterford Craft School, helps support the mission of preservation and education.
