African American Historic Resources Survey Draft Report
An African American Historic Resource survey has identified potential locations or buildings to be included as significant elements in documenting the county’s history. Feedback is welcome online by March 24 and at a March 6 virtual meeting.
Fairfax County is working to better capture, communicate and preserve the history of African Americans in the county. As part of this effort, 70 properties with historical, cultural, architectural or archaeological significance were surveyed through a Virginia Department of Historic Resources’ (VDHR) program.
