AAHA is pleased to share the permanent exhibit “FOOTPRINTS to CHANGE" with the public. The exhibit incorporates four specific periods in history: “From Africa to Jamestown”, “The American Revolution”, “The Underground Railroad in Fauquier,” and “Social Movements.” With the help of local artists, tradesmen, students, and members the exhibit opened in August of 2009, showcasing collections from around the world, but mostly from the local community.
