The
mission of the Waterford Foundation is to preserve the
historic buildings and the open spaces of the National
Historic Landmark District of Waterford, Virginia; and
through education, to increase the public's knowledge of
life and work in an early American rural community. |
The Waterford Foundation, Inc.,
founded in 1943, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies
on funds received from memberships and donations to fulfill its
mission to preserve and protect the Waterford
National Historic Landmark. Your donations go toward maintenance
of our historic buildings and properties, and to the many educational
programs that take place in this lovely village. Neither the landmark
nor the Foundation would exist without your support and the efforts
of our dedicated volunteers. Thank you!

Help Us
Rebuild the Old School Auditorium.
On January 25, 2007, the Waterford Old
School Auditorium burst into flames. The 80-year-old wood frame
structure burned to the ground; heroic work of local fire departments
preserved the original 1910 Greek Revival classroom building.
The Foundation and the greater Waterford
community have resolved to rebuild the Old School auditorium. Design
plans are complete, all permits are in hand, and the project is
shovel-ready!
Total fundraising so far has reached almost
40 percent ($580,000) of our $1.6 million total fundraising goal
and almost 50 percent of the $1.2 million needed to begin construction
of the new auditorium. Thank you to all our kind donors!
