We are so excited to be resuming our public excavations during the Daffodil Festival in 2023! Come visit us in the green space in front of County Office Building 2, close to the sidewalk, as we excavate test units to learn more about the buildings that stood here in the 1700s! Stop by with your friends and family to learn more about archaeology in the county, the history and archaeology of the court circle, or help us screen for artifacts!

The Fairfield Foundation will host an Open House and activities at Dr. Walter Reed’s Birthplace, 4021 Hickory Fork Road in Gloucester County, on Saturday, September 9, from 10am-2pm. Dr. Reed was born in the small dwelling in Belroi on September 13, 1851, while his father was an itinerant preacher to Methodist congregations in the Gloucester and King and Queen County circuit. The youngest of five children, Reed became a U.S. Army pathologist and bacteriologist. He led experiments that proved yellow fever is transmitted by a mosquito bite.
