Loudoun County; one of Virginia�s most charming areas; is truly a picturesque region; balanced with sweeping pastoral landscapes along the Potomac and many lovely small towns and villages. Over the pastseveral hundred years; this county has enjoyed an ethnic-rich past; meaning that many diverse cultures�the American Indian; European; and African�have called this place home. These different civilizations have left an indelible mark on Loudoun County�s character and architectural appearance; from traditional churches and shops to the more ornate and lavish homes scattered across the countryside. Fortunately; many of these buildings still stand; serving as fitting reminders to these different people�s struggles and lives. In this volume of over 200 photographs; many never before published; you will experience the Loudoun County of yesteryear�a time when wagons and early automobiles competed for space on the same dusty highways; when homes and schools were made of cobblestone and woodframing; and when life seemed; overall; slower and less complicated. This book takes us on a wonderful journey through the county�s major towns; such as Leesburg; Hamilton; Hillsboro; Lovettsville; Middleburg; Purcellville; and Round Hill; and to the smaller villages; such as Waterford; Broad Run Farms; and Taylorstown. From the turn of the twentieth century to more contemporary times; you will see your �home county� as you have never seen it before or as you remembered it as a child.
