A Tour Map and Guide This full-color, illustrated, twenty-four-page booklet with map takes you on a trip through Loudoun County’s rich black history. Beginning largely in the post-emancipation period, African Americans built homes, schools, churches, fraternal lodges, and businesses throughout the county. Some communities have died out while others have remained vital; many buildings survive despite changes in the landscape. A narrative introduction and brief descriptions of forty-four settlements and neighborhoods are enhanced by thirty-two illustrations – many of them archival photographs – and a fold-out map marked with communities, churches and schools. Published May 2004.
