Fauquier Juneteenth Vault

Freedom Has a Voice — Stories Untold Becoming History

In partnership with the Afro-American Historical Association (AAHA), Fauquier Juneteenth Inc. is proud to launch the Celebrating 250 Time Vault — a recorded archive of voices from across Fauquier County sharing their stories in their own words and opportunity to share with the public on Juneteenth at Eva Walker Park.

This initiative builds upon AAHA’s extensive research and StoryMap documenting African American communities established during the Reconstruction era in Fauquier County. We seek to honor that foundation by preserving the living voices and legacies that continue to shape our county today.

Who We Are Calling

Churches.
Schools.
Civic organizations.
Alumni chapters.

If you are part of the fabric of Fauquier County, your story belongs in this Vault.

Registration is now open.
