The Loudoun Historical Society is in the process of becoming active again after a slump following its creation in the 1960s. Currently, there are about 250 members who meet at Morven Park or Balch Library, both in Leesburg, every other month. With the goal of educating Loudoun County citizens, the Historical Society has several activities in mind, including a lecture series bringing attention to the historical significance of various homes and sites. This series begins with a lecture on General George Marshal on Thursday, Oct. 16 at the St. James Episcopal Church in Leesburg, beginning at 7 p.m. Another endeavor of the society is the publication of a bimonthly including historical pamphlets, essays and books about Loudoun County.
