The community and our elected officials turned out in force to see the unveiling of six historic markers on Saturday, November 21st, 2009. Between 175 and 200 people were on hand to witness the event at the crossroads of the W&OD Trail and Hunter Mill Road. Members of the History Committee have been working steadily over the past two years to complete the research and submission process for the six markers that were dedicated. They worked with four different sponsoring organizations to bring important parts of our history to light; VA Dept of Historic Resources, Fairfax County History Commission, Civil War Trails, and the W&OD Trail.

Proceeds from the sales of our products along with funds from W&OD, W&OD Friends, and the Fairfax County History Comission made it possible to place so many markers. Chairman Bulova noted that the placement of six markers at once may in itself be a historic moment in this county.
