Waterford Virginia in the Loudoun Valley is the perfect place to celebrate the 4thof July in 2009 with the Red White & Blue of the American Flag. Settled in the 1730s, Waterford is a small oasis of history in Western Loudoun County where residents and visitors can imagine themselves living in the 18th Century just by looking around at homes, estates and farms that date back to the beginnings of our great country.
Homes and Barns in Waterford Virginia date back to the 18th Century.

Waterford Virginia
Lenn - Waterford looks like a beautiful place with so much history. I love the photos.
Sharon. Thanks. It's a lovely little hamlet. I enjoy riding around the area.
Lenn - What a quaint place. Those pictures make me want to move there!
I love to see 18th century homes and barns decorated with the red, white and blue bunting. It's a wonderful reminder of the upcoming birthday of our nation, and a time to reflect on the principles of freedom that our country is built on.
Lenn, thanks for sharing these. Just a reminder that I don't get here often enough (I mean your blog!). Happy 4th of July!
Thanks Dawn. Drop by anytime.
Brian. Indeed. I love to see it too. Somehow it is so fitting in an 18th Century community like Waterford.
Irene. It's really quite charming. I'll do a new pictoral of it soon.
Lenn,
When I first scrolled down, I thought for sure the pictures were of Hillsborough, that tiny little village where you are encouraged to "Drive Gently." Loudoun County is filled with these bucolic places, isn't it?
Amy. Indeed it is. Waterford, Middleburg, Hillsboro, Aldie, Round Hill, etc. All small hamlets and full of history.
Lenn, it is probably almost 30 years since I drove through that town. I need to take a drive there soon. Western Loudoun county is breathtaking.
I just love the historic homes. They encompass a time period of true American spirit. Nothing is more enjoyable than having the opportunity to get up to New England and soak up the architecture, history and landscape. Thanks for the beautiful photos Lenn!
Jim. Indeed. It's charming and very interesting just to see.
Florida. To see early Americana, one must come to the north east. We have homes here constructed in the 1700s and a few in the 1600s.
