The Waterford Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on preserving the historic buildings and open spaces of Waterford, Virginia, a National Historic Landmark village. It educates the public about life and work in an early American rural community, providing context for visitors and researchers. Founded in 1943, it is among the earliest community-based historic preservation efforts in the United States. The foundation operates within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector and serves a local and regional audience of visitors, supporters, and others interested in heritage education. In 2026, it announced that its Executive Director will step down in July, and it held its annual meeting in April, indicating ongoing governance and community engagement.
