Short Hill Historical Society A non-profit organization dedicated to discover, protect, and restore the history of the Short Hill region in western Loudoun County, Virginia.

To Contact us please either email or message us through Facebook. The Short Hill Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicating to restoring and preserving historic landmarks in the Short Hill region. It was founded in 1976 to save the Old Stone School, formerly known as the Locust Grove Academy, from being torn down. The charter, written in 1976, is to restore and preserve the Old St

one School and other historic landmarks in the area. Originally called the Hillsboro Community Association (Friends of the Old Stone School), the organization changed its name to the Short Hill Historical Society in 1976. After 40 years focused on the Old Stone School--saving it from demolition and keeping its doors open--the organization is turning to restore and preserve other historic landmarks in the area. You can support these efforts with a donation and by volunteering. The Old Stone School was one of the first public schools in Loudoun County, and classes were held at this historic building from 1874 through 1966 when the Hillsboro Elementary School opened. After sitting vacant for 10 years, a decision was made to demolish the building. A group of former students and local residents joined together to save the historic building, and work to preserve and restore it along with other historical landmarks in the area.
