Edwin Washington was a teenager in 1867 when he penned a letter on the importance of education. Come learn of his and the generation-spanning, African American struggle in Loudoun County to find, provide, and support public education for the African American community from Reconstruction to desegregation.

We are currently looking for volunteers to work the desk at our Winmill Carriage Museum at Morven Park.  Volunteers would need to be available on either a Saturday or Sunday from noon – 5:00 pm.  Their main responsibility will be greeting guests, checking tickets and answering questions.  Training will be provided and volunteers will work closely with Collections and Education staff.  Volunteers can select how often they would want to volunteer – it can be every week, once a month, or once a quarter.
