Charlotte Gollobin was one of the original founders and chairmen of the 20-year-old Waterford Concert Series. She has actively served on the Concerts Committee since 1994, helping build the caliber of the series and the mu-sicians selected to perform. Charlotte first served on the Foundation board from 1997-99 and was elected to a new term in 2008. She continues to play a role in soliciting talent for the Waterford Concert Series. A former resident of Waterford and owner of Rosemont Farm with her late husband Len, she retains strong ties to the village.

Thomas L. Hertel is a longtime volunteer at the Waterford Fair and co-chair of the Red Barn area. During his 3-year term, he served on the Land Use and Fair committees, and his wealth of knowledge of and contacts with local businesses helped the Foundation locate excellent technical support services. Tom lives on Patrick Street in Waterford with his wife Christy and son Will; we will enjoy his continued volunteer expertise!

Walter Music was first elected to the Foundation’s Board of Directors in 2008. In his first term, as chair of the Land Use Committee, he helped accomplish an expansion of the Waterford Historic and Cultural Conservation District —more than doubling it to 760 acres. As a member of the Ad Hoc Old School Steering Committee he helped oversee the restoration of the classroom building and construction of the new auditorium. He served on the Finance Committee, Executive Committee, as Vice President, and for the past two years as President.

Amy V. Smith, active on the Waterford Concert Series committee since 2009, joined the board in 2011. She helped plan the Old School Auditorium reopening as chair of the Ad Hoc Old School Revenue Committee and continued to work to make the new building the venue for new revenue-generating events. Then Amy chaired an Ad Hoc Business Management Committee, which has worked to increase the number of visitors and amount of revenue from the Corner Store as full-time store after the move of the Foundation offices to the Old School. We’re thankful she has shared her expertise—and we’re glad we will still see her smile and hear her laughter at future concerts.

Bronwen C. Souders is just 14 months shy of having served six terms on the Board. She has been interim execu-tive director, president, executive committee member, secretary (several times), chair or co-chair of the Education Committee since 1984, Foundation archivist, and “Miss Nickens” for 24 years. She and her husband John have been Foundation members for 42 years. Her love of Waterford and its history has been shared by so many more through her work—as co-author of several local histories, and as an extraordinary archivist of geneaological records and numerous artifacts from Waterford’s early history (many of them donated to the Foundation through her relationships with descendants). With her long tenure, she is a repository of Foundation history as well. In 2008, she with her husband John received the Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award. She will remain an avid collector of Waterford history. She has just been appointed to the Loudoun County Heritage Commission.

From the Executive Director

Ken Rosenfeld

In 2013, we celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Waterford Foundation, commemorating one of the oldest historic preservation organizations in the country. With our dual mission of preservation and education, and our tradition of grassroots activism, the Foundation has a remarkable track record. We have succeeded at protecting the historic buildings and open spaces, and while that work never ends, we can look back on 70 years with great satisfaction.

And we did celebrate. At the 70th Annual Meeting in April, we heard from village resident Janet Jewell, who has supported the Foundation since its beginning in 1943; we unveiled the 1812 deed to the village green, recently discovered in the attic of Loudoun Mutual Insurance Company and generously donated to the Foundation; and of course we took a moment to enjoy some birthday cake in our honor, too. At the 70th Waterford Fair in October, we welcomed home former village residents and descendants of early Waterford families, resulting in a “Heritage Day” that was so successful that we certainly won’t wait another 70 years to do it again.

But perhaps what makes Waterford special is that we didn’t just focus on the past. In 2013, we started new programs and looked toward the future. In February, the historic Corner Store in the village center took on a new life, with enhancements to the variety of items for sale—offering local crafts, educational displays, and a pleasant place to visit for locals and visitors, as well as weekend hours.

In May, we held our first Farm & Village Days, offering a free, “open house” event that highlighted our preservation efforts and honored our agricultural past. Throughout the year, the activity level at the renovated and reopened Old School continually increased, now bustling with concerts of all types, wedding and event rentals, and the beginnings of a return to Waterford’s rich tradition of classes and camps.

We can look toward the future knowing that the Foundation is on firm footing. The membership is made up of committed supporters and volunteers who care deeply about Waterford.

The Board of Directors undertook a new, three-year planning process,

culminating with a successful retreat focused on financial and strategic planning. The Foundation staff is talented, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated. Financially, 2013 was a positive year that also saw the debt from the rebuild of the Old School sliced in half.

There are many reasons to celebrate the past in Waterford—there are just as many reasons to be excited about the future. Thank you for all that you do to play a part in Waterford’s story.

Once a store, always a store. This image of the Corner Store from around 1900 proves that in Waterford, the more things change, the more they stay the same. While you can't buy nails or pickles out of a barrel there today, the Corner Store remains a community gathering spot.

Preservation

Phillips Farm

Widening of the farm’s interpretive trail improved access, and repairs were made to Old John, the massive white oak near the dam. An Eagle Scout project by Cory Kidd added a new footbridge near the Mill, replacing a structure that had to be removed because of severe erosion of the banks supporting the footers.

Field trips for school children were initiated, providing an opportunity to learn about the historic farm.

Partnerships continued with Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy, Loudoun Center Apiaries, and McIntosh Farms.

Farm & Village Days

The Foundation held its first Farm & Village Days to provide visitors with a free opportunity to explore our historic properties. Scheduled to coincide with Loudoun County’s spring farm tour, the weekend featured open houses of Foundation properties, and a variety of

programs related to the village’s agricultural past, including opportunities to visit with local sheep and bees.

The event satisfies a longstanding desire to provide an opportunity for visitors to experience and appreciate the historic preservation work in the village. Plans are underway to hold the event again in 2014.

Corner Store

The move of Foundation offices to the renovated Old School presented an opportunity to reuse the Corner Store property. In February 2013, the first floor reopened as a corner store, featuring fine, local crafts and Foundation products such as books and honey.

The space has been successful in its first year in meeting its three objectives: generating revenue in support of our mission, serving as an educational outreach vehicle, and

Eagle Scout candidate Cory Alan Kidd constructed a new, longer bridge upstream on the Phillips Farm that spans a deepening tributary to the South Fork of Catoctin Creek.

Artifacts from Waterford's past were displayed in the Corner Store and elsewhere during Farm & Village Days.

In May the Loudoun County Joint Architectural Review Board presented an award

in the “Additions” category to the Waterford Foundation for the Waterford Old School’s new auditorium, completed in April 2012.

The award recognized the "attention to detail in designing an addition compatible with the

historic building and contributing to the overall character of the Waterford Historic District."

Preservation

providing a welcoming, central destination for both villagers and tourists.

In less than a full year, 1,380 individuals visited the Corner Store, and gross sales exceeded $13,000. The year finished with a flourish thanks to a new “Merry Old Christmas in Waterford” event, culminating at the Corner Store with shopping, wassail, and a visit from Santa.

Land Use

In consultation with the Waterford Citizens Association, the process for amending easements on Foundation properties was revised, in order to enable public participation. Current easements are under review to ensure that properties are fully protected, and determine if any amendments might be necessary.

The Land Use Committee also monitored the “alleys” issue in the village, as the General Assembly passed legislation in an attempt to resolve longstanding ownership questions.

Properties Maintenance

● The interior of the Second Street School received a welcomed coat of paint thanks to a donation by CertaPro Painters of Loudoun. An updated electrical system also was installed.

● At the Old School, access was greatly improved with an extension of the driveway and installation of a small area of gravel parking. Work also began on saving the historic radiators and steam heat system, and reviewing issues related to energy loss.

● The aging roof at the Corner Store was replaced.

This 1875 map of Waterford shows the original layout of the town with landowner lots and alleys. The allies were village property until Waterford deincorporated in 1936. In subsequent decades some alleys informally retained that designation; others sprouted trees, fences, and outbuildings. State legislation has passed alley ownership to Loudoun County; a process to clarify ownership and rights of way is underway.

Education

Second Street School Living History Program

ThIs renowned educational program has been taking place in Waterford since 1984, marking 30 years at the historic Second Street School. Students arrive in costume, and are immersed in an 1880 day that would have taken place at the African-American, one-room schoolhouse.

Since its inception, the program has been offered at no charge to Loudoun County forth graders. Over 30,000 students have now experienced this program. In 2013, 45 classes visited, totaling more than 1,000 students.

The Second Street School program is run entirely by volunteers, and the following docents assume the role of the teacher, “Miss Nickens”: Judy Jackson (chair), Elsa Anders, Tracy Balboni, Ann Belland, Betty Cox, Gerri Davis, JoEllen Keating, Mary Ellen Megeath, Nancy Van Zandt.

Waterford Fair

The 70-year-old Waterford Fair has always served to fulfill the Foundation’s educational mission. Craftspeople are required to demonstrate their skills to both adults and children, and for decades the Fair has included special exhibits celebrating aspects of the village’s history.

In 2013, the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War continued to be commemorated at the Fair. Interpretative signage highlighted Waterford’s unique role as a Union-sympathizing village in the Confederacy, talented interpreters portrayed a Civil War-era soldier and farmer, and a number of units performed military reenactments.

To celebrate the Fair’s 70th Anniversary, former village residents and descendants of early families were invited and given the opportunity to record first-hand stories of Waterford.

Outreach

The educatIon commIttee took advantage of a number of opportunities in 2013 to reach out to new audiences and share Waterford’s story:

● With the reimagining of the Corner Store building in the center of the village, the new store includes areas for rotating educational exhibits, thanks to John and Bronwen Souders.

● At the inaugural Farm & Village Days in May, designed to highlight the preservation of Waterford’s buildings and properties, educational displays and signage were installed, and Girl Scouts were invited to participate in a program and earn a Waterford Foundation/Phillips Farm patch.

● At a Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce meeting at Belmont Country Club, hundreds of business leaders learned about the Foundation and enjoyed the opportunity

A display of fleece (some of it on live sheep) to fabric on Farm and Village Days in May provided a hands-on array of the steps and equipment that would have been used to prepare wool for the fulling mill, like the one located at Schooley Mill early in Waterford's market town history.

Education

to interact with a Civil War soldier (Lee Stone) and 1880s school teacher (Judy Jackson).

Lyceum Programs

An old waterford tradItIon dating to the 1800s, lyceums began when a group of people would meet to discuss topics of common interest. The tradition continues today as an informal program supported by the Foundation. The 2013 program, organized by Sherry Satin, included:

● a talk about southern plantation mistresses, led by Carol Cutrona,

● a presentation by Vernell Doyle, president of the Sharpsburg Historical Society, on Garnet Jex’s renowned paintings depicting the Civil War, and

● a lecture by author John Allen, contrasting the architecture of Waterford with his study of early houses in Jefferson County, West Virginia.

Walking Tours

WalkIng tours are provided by volunteers free of charge and are available by request. The tours can be customized to fit particular interests, such as architecture, agriculture, specific buildings, or Civil War, Quaker, or African-American history. Tours are also available on the day of each concert in the Waterford Concert Series.

Archives/Collections/Research

Work contInued on moving the archives to the Old School, including 750 files pertaining to Waterford families.

The basement of the Old School is being transformed into a storage and research center, while the upstairs of the Chair Factory will continue to be used for exhibits and additional storage.

Cataloguing also continued on our substantial collection of archival materials representing the Foundation and village: documents, minutes, committee papers, photographs, videos, audio cassettes and Fair materials.

Numerous requests were assisted for research and genealogical assistance, including from individuals, families, a high school, and a doctoral candidate.

An unusual number of treasured Waterford items were donated to the Foundation this year, from a 1720 blanket chest and 1829 needlework sampler, to an original pew from John Wesley Church and desk from the Second Street School, to name only a few. In addition, Chris Shipe of Loudoun Mutual Insurance Company made a surprising discovery, finding in the business’ attic the 1812 deed transferring the village green from Mahlon Janney to the town; Loudoun Mutual generously covered the expense of conserving the document and has donated the deed to the Foundation.

Fred Johnson donated a collection of antique household items, including pottery, cookware, bottles and prints.

The 70th Waterford Homes Tour & Crafts Exhibit

The sun shone brightly on the Waterford Fair as the event celebrated its milestone 70th Anniversary in 2013. Large crowds descended on the village on each of the three days, October 4-6, despite unseasonably hot weather that topped the 90-degree mark each day.

Thanks to the hundreds of participants and volunteers, the Waterford Homes Tour & Crafts Exhibit displayed again why it has thrived for seven decades as one of America’s treasured events.

Highlights

In celebration of the 70th Anniversary, the Fair included a “Heritage Day” on Sunday. The Foundation welcomed home descendants of early Waterford families, along with former village residents and school alumni. Many took advantage of an opportunity to record family stories for posterity; a special reception was held at the end of the day.

Throughout the three days, 160 of America’s finest craftspeople demonstrated their wares. Artisans shared their skills with visitors, and this educational component remains a popular and unique feature of Virginia’s oldest juried craft show. An additional 95 artisans were represented among the three floors of crafts for sale inside the Mill.

Another favorite of the Fair, the homes tour, opened the doors to 11 historic homes over the three days, thanks to the generosity of the homeowners and hundreds of volunteer docents.

One of the Fair’s oldest traditions, the Country store, relocated to its historical home inside the Foundation’s Corner Store, featuring baked goods and jams and jellies. A popular, newer tradition—the wine garden—returned for a third year with six local wineries providing tastings.

The entertainment lineup was brimming with top-notch music, from bluegrass and ballads to dulcimer and

barbershop. Crowds also were entertained by reenactments as the commemoration of the Civil War Sesquicentennial continues, with thanks to the Tuesday Regulars, Stonewall Brigade, and 8th Virginia Infantry. The Liberty Hall Drum and Fife Corps marched and played throughout the village.

At the Membership Booth in the village center, visitors were encouraged to place a pin on a map, signifying where they were visiting from. The result was eye-popping and confirmed the wide appeal of the Fair—visitors to the 2013 Fair hailed from 47 states and 17 countries.

Looking Ahead

The 71st Waterford Fair will be held October 3-5, 2014. New features are being planned, including a focus on local agriculture, and a children’s scavenger hunt. As always, there will be an incomparable line-up of crafts demonstrators, musical entertainment, and food vendors, and more historic homes to explore.

To join our family of volunteers, or to ask questions about the Fair, please contact the Foundation.

In May Visit Loudoun awarded the 2012 Waterford Fair the Best Event of the Year for (for the fourth time--unprecendented in the history of the award). Fair Chair Fran Holmbraker and Executive Director Ken Rosenfeld acccepted the award.

Descendants of the Gover, Janney, and Hutchinson families came to Waterford in April for a tour of the village and to donate several precious artifacts from the village's early history—among them a framed sampler, silk on linen, worked in 1829 by their ancestor Ann T. Gover, age 9 at the time, who spent her entire life in Waterford; and a poplar blanket chest (circa 1720), made in Maryland for, and brought to Waterford by, their immigrant ancestor Robert Gover, whose son Samuel arrived in Waterford in the 1780s—with lock and key.

The story of this Annual Report cover is a fine one.

It began with an early morning phone call from Chris Shipe, president of Loudoun Mutual Insurance Company, who had found something in the company's attic—a one-time repository of sorts for historic Waterford documents. Shipe told Executive Director Ken Rosenfeld that he took a closer look at a long-ignored frame on the wall, and could not believe what he saw.

Shipe had found the original "Janney deed," from Mahlon Janney to the trustees of the town of Waterford. It conferred to the town the lot now known as the village green and the jail, at the base of Main Street, in return for the sum of $1. The deed is now 202 years old, dated April 18, 1812.

"We knew that this deed existed," Rosenfeld said at the document's public unveiling at the April 2013 Annual Meeting. "It had been recorded, but this is the original, and you can see the signatures of Mr. Janney along with the witnesses."

The deed has now been properly preserved thanks to Loudoun Mutual, and is on display—with the back of the deed, with folds and writing on the outside (seen below) also visible—at the Foundation Office. The Foundation is deeply grateful to Mr. Shipe and Loudoun Mutual for this generous donation.
