Exploring Purcellville's History: Railroads and More

Saturday, October 24 · 2 PM – 3 PM · Purcellville Library

About

Purcellville was just one of the small villages along the Leesburg to Snickersville Turnpike, but it grew more quickly than others due to the multiple roads that ran north and south. Once the railroad reached town in 1874, it became the largest community in western Loudoun. Presented by Paul McCray for the Purcellville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
