The Fairfield Foundation recently presented its outreach report for the past year to its board members.
The foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization in the midst of celebrating its 25th year, involves the public in hands-on archaeology and education activities in the Middle Peninsula and surrounding areas.
They operate five properties in Gloucester County: Fairfield Archaeology Park, Timberneck House at Machicomoco, Edge Hill Texaco (the Center for Archaeology, Preservation and Education, or CAPE), Rosewell Ruins and Visitor Center, and the Walter Reed Birthplace.
In the report, the Fairfield Foundation had programs at every school in Gloucester County. The programs also took place each month of the school year, culminating in the B.C. United Outreach’s Back 2 School Block party in August.
Programs included classroom lessons, field trips to Fairfield and Timberneck House, while others explored Rosewell, Walter Reed Birthplace, and the King William County Courthouse.
