Waterford, located in northern Loudon County, is one of the most photogenic locations in our region. Founded in the early 1700s, it is today a National Historic Landmark District, with buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. These include the Waterford Mill (mid-1700s), the \u201cArch House Row\u201d (also mid 18th Century), and the Presbyterian church (1882). Waterford, with a largely Quaker and abolitionist population, remained loyal to the Union during the Civil War, but was the scene of a battle.<\/p>\n

Entertainment at the Corner Store during the Waterford Fair<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Many of us know Waterford from its annual fair in early October. (It will be October 6, 7, and 8 this year.) Roger Lancaster knows it as home, and has offered to share some of his favorite photographic locations with us during a NVPS Field Trip on May 21. In addition to showing us the town, Roger will lead the group to several barns and other sites in the area.<\/p>\n

After touring the Waterford area, Roger will host a pot-luck at his house. To keep things moderately organized, please bring whatever you\u2019d like to drink as well as a dish to share:<\/p>\n
