The Fairfax Heritage Society Records consists of .25 linear feet and spans the years 1966-1970 and consists of meeting minutes,
notes, mailing lists, correspondence and a record book. Subjects include Sully Plantation and historic preservation in Fairfax
County.
Mary Dolores Waters, Mrs. James A. Gura, Mrs. L. Scott Thomason, and Mrs. John Prokopis incorporated the Fairfax Heritage
Society on August 4, 1966. The nonprofit group strived to encourage research, historical studies, protection and the restoration
of Fairfax County historical landmarks. The group also promoted social and civic activities. The group was extremely influential
in supporting the preservation of Sully Plantation. In 1970, the Society unsuccessfully campaigned for a Fairfax County Museum
of History to be built in the Fairfax County Courthouse. The Society quietly faded into oblivion that same year.
