The Board of County Supervisors approved the following projects in the Foundation work plan for featured fundraising in 2009. We encourage Prince William County the Citizens and Corporations, residents and businesses to designate donations to make these precious sites first class tourist attractions.
- Rippon Lodge Historic Site Visitor Center---($2.5 Million fundraising goal) The Center will house exhibits on the history of Rippon Lodge and the colonial Potomac River. The Center will also include visitor services amenities, office space for staff, and collections storage.
- Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre Jail Restoration—($550,000 fundraising goal) Engineering plans are being drawn up by Commonwealth Architects. These plans will identify preservation activities that are necessary to stabilize the Jail and enable public access.
- Bristoe Station Battlefield Cemetery Preservation—($150,000 fundraising goal) Historic fencing, interpretive signage, monuments and upkeep are needed to honor the dead as well as work on the entire battlefield, which officially opened October 2007.
