Settled by Quakers in the late 18th century, Purcellville is located in Virginia’s bucolic Hunt Country about an hour west of Washington, D.C. Like many communities in Loudoun County, Purcellville was a natural halfway point where weary travelers heading between Washington and Winchester could tie up their horses and rest. The arrival of the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad ushered in a trade boom for the region, transforming the surrounding valley into one of the nation’s largest dairy hubs and orchard grass producers. Today, it’s a tranquil country retreat where one might hear mail-order chicks chirping in the post office, neighborly conversations involving gardening tips, and where the talk of the town is about where to find well-priced perennials. Proud of its town’s history, the Purcellville Preservation Association holds an old-fashioned country fair each May at the historic Fireman’s Field.
