Established in 2000, the Fairfield Foundation is an organization dedicated to archaeological research and public outreach focused on Fairfield Plantation, the historic home of the Burwell family in Gloucester County. Over the last decade we established innovative, nationally-recognized educational programming, developed a dedicated corps of volunteers who have donated over 35,000 hours to our cause, and documented one of the most dynamic colonial landscapes in Virginia. In 2010, we purchased the Edge Hill Service Station to serve as our future headquarters and preservation center. This new location will enable us to carry out our mission for the next ten years and beyond- expanding our role across the Middle Peninsula, helping property owners, educational institutions, and local governments preserve and learn from their historical resources, ensuring they survive for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
