Fauquier Heritage & Preservation Foundation

A nonprofit organization

Located in Marshall, Virginia, the Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Foundation, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1993 to discover, procure and preserve whatever may relate to the history of Fauquier County, Virginia and to the genealogy of Fauquier County families; and to encourage the citizens of Fauquier County to become more familiar with the rich heritage of the area. Over time it has expanded that encouragement to include anyone who may be interested in Fauquier County worldwide.

FHPF collects archival material related to the County's Colonial past and recent history, and provides a resource (the John K. Gott Library) for both the study of County history and for genealogical studies. FHPF also sponsors educational and entertaining events designed to heighten awareness of the legacy of Fauquier County's founding families.


More About Us

The Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Foundation (FHPF) was established in 1993 in Marshall, Virginia to help preserve the history and rich heritage of Fauquier County. Our John K. Gott Library has amassed over 6500 volumes related primarily to local history and genealogy. The Gott Library is staffed entirely by volunteers, however we are desperately in need of more volunteers, or to be able to add a paid staff member to our operating budget.   Currently we are open on Tuesdays from 10-4, but would love to have the staff/volunteers to be able to open more days a week.  In 2017 we opened our Sinclair Education Center and began hosting events that focused on educating attendees about local history, such as our Bygone Businesses presentation, a presentation on local maps, etc..  These quarterly events were put on hold in 2020, but we hope to start them up again soon.

We are currently in dire need of a new front porch on our Gott Library as the current one is unsafe, and we intend to use donations acquired during Give Local Piedmont toward the porch rehab as well as our regular operating expenses.

Thank you so much for considering FHPF during this event!
