Help the Foundation in its efforts to preserve this early American village and to realize our vision for the future of Waterford as we plan new programs and opportunities to experience the treasured buildings and landscapes of Waterford, and teach a new generation of families about rural American history.

 

This vision includes:

• Initiating new hands-on history programs in our living historical community
• Implementing cellphone walking tours of historic Waterford
• Offering the opportunity for visitors to interact with period interpreters
• Augmenting our programming and exhibits on the African-American experience in Waterford, as well as the village's unique role during the Civil War
• Developing an educational program on early technology centered on the soon-to-be-restored Waterford mill
• Examining the story of the Quakers in Waterford and their impact on agricultural practices and the African-American community

Your gift will make our vision a reality. We need your help more than ever to continue our dual mission of preservation and education. So as we head into the holiday season, I ask that you consider making an end-of-year contribution as part of our annual giving campaign.

 

Your donation of any amount is greatly appreciated, whether it's $25, $250, or $2,500.  Donate Today

It's also tax-deductible!

 

On behalf of the board, the staff, and the membership of the Foundation, thank you for your support of Waterford and for ensuring that this remains a special place.

The Waterford Foundation is pleased to welcome Lisa Thompson to the staff as our new Fair Director! She brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having served as a Main Street Manager in Paducah, Kentucky, where she planned and executed a 13 week summer concert series, inaugurated a national-model Artist Relocation Program and partnered with a number of cultural organizations in the community. Prior to that she managed the business-end of Tudor Place, a historic house museum in Georgetown, and owned her own business.
