Fairfield Foundation

Established in 2000, the Fairfield Foundation began with a focus on archaeological research and public outreach at Fairfield Plantation in Gloucester County, the prominent seat of the Burwell family, and home to generations of other families, both free and enslaved. In 2010 they purchased the 1930 Edge Hill Service Station on Main Street and transformed it into the Center for Archaeology, Preservation, and Education (CAPE). www.fairfieldfoundation.org
