Lilla grew up in Arlington County, Virginia, after her family moved there in the early 1940s and was educated in Arlington County Public Schools. She received a B. S. degree from the University of South Carolina. During her childhood, she spent the school year in Northern Virginia and parts of the summers in South Carolina.","Lilla married Stanley I. Richards on July 24, 1965, in Alexandria, Virginia. From 1965-1971, the Richards lived in Tysons Corner, Virginia, and in 1971 moved to nearby McLean. She became involved in civic-association activities while simultaneously working as an editor for the Federal government. Her keen interest in civic affairs lead to her departure from the government position in 1973 and an increasingly deep involvement in local politics.","Richards was involved with the McLean Citizens Association for over 40 years, serving as its president (1977-1978). She served as the second vice president, first vice president, and then president of the Fairfax County Federation of Civic Associations between 1979 and 1982.

Grundset, 2018-2019 EAD generated by Ross Landis, 2024","","The Lilla Richards Collection consists of 51 linear feet and 92 manuscript boxes and spans 1914-2016. The earliest materials cover the development of organizations and institutions in the area of McLean, Langley, Great Falls, Lewinsville, and adjoining areas of northern and northeastern Fairfax County, Virginia. Most of the collection concentrates on the 1970s to the 1990s, however, and focuses on every type of development issue that has challenged the McLean community during a period of rapid and intense population growth. The bulk of this collection consists of correspondence, public documents and reports, maps, newspaper clippings, photographs, newsletters, and other materials relating to the growth and development of the McLean, Virginia, area. ","When placed in the library for processing, the collection had been loosely arranged into broad subject areas. During the rearrangement of the papers in the 42 banker boxes, many stray items were found scattered throughout requiring considerable sorting. It should also be noted that some papers from McLean Citizens Association past-presidents Conrad Clark and Theodore Gray were incorporated into the collection when donated. Researchers should note that there were some undated papers in the collection.During the sorting process into chronological order of many sections, undated papers were left with the previous dated document as a general date indicator. Every effort was made to date materials from internal information or context in their original order, but some materials defied assignment of year of creation.","Researchers would do well to search this guide for terms of interest because many topics are scattered throughout the collection and could not be gathered into one location. The collection now maintains a considerable amount of the original order of the materials therein, but many files and papers were relocated to represent specific topics when possible. Any one document could contain multiple subjects, especially government documents and MCA or MCF publications, minutes, and associated papers.","Series 1: Biographical Files, 1968-2016, Boxes 1-3 and Oversize","This series contains biographical files on Lilla Richards, her personal calendars, material on the proposed “McLean Room” at the Dolly Madison Library, newspaper clippings on Northern Virginia debutant activities and events, and the original box inventories of the 42 banker boxes that arrived in Fairfax County Public Library’s Virginia Room in September 2015.

Every aspect of the organization’s activities and policies is covered. MCA has been an informal “town government” for McLean and has had a significant impact on the area’s development through most of the twentieth century. The history of MCA from its formation in 1914 into the early twenty-first century is represented by Richards’ notes, correspondence, copies of MCA newsletters and committee reports, and countless newspaper clippings and related items detailing many subjects such as transportation, zoning, schools, trees, subdivision names, Tysons Corner, McLean’s Central Business District, the McLean Community Center, taxation, politics, and civic awards.","Series 3: McLean Citizens Foundation Administrative Records, 1975-2014, Boxes 18-27 ","Every aspect of the work of the McLean Citizens Foundation (MCF) is detailed in these files. The organization was created in 1978 to manage money raised by the MCA to support numerous civic improvement projects in McLean. These include grants for parks, such as the McLean Central Park; schools; the McLean Community Center; Little League fields; and the Claude Moore Farm at Turkey Run. Grant papers, foundation minutes and reports, bylaws, and brochures populate the files in this series. In 2009, the organization’s name became the McLean Community Foundation.","Series 4: Evans Farm Controversy Files, 1969-2000 (bulk 1998-2000), Boxes 28-31","For decades, the Evans Farm Inn and its surrounding grounds provided a park-like atmosphere for local residents to have a meal and let their children feed ducks. It was a very popular location but started to decline in the 1990s. Following the death of the original owner, Bayard D. Evans, in 1980, the family eventually decided to sell the property in the late 1990s. This created a firestorm of opposition from the surrounding community that resulted in a court case that failed to prevent the sale. This series contains a large quantity of material on these efforts to stop the transaction. Lilla Richards was involved in these efforts.

This series reflects this involvement and provides insight into the role of local residents, and Richards herself specifically, in trying to grapple with the constant changing of an older and increasingly heavily populated suburb of the Nation’s Capital. Transportation planning included interstate highways, such as I-495 (The Capital Beltway) and I-66; the Dulles Access and Toll Roads; Metro; DART, and Dulles International Airport.

Also, a caricature of Lilla Richards and some humorous bumper stickers not specifically related to McLean or Fairfax County are included.","Series 2: McLean Citizens Association Administrative and Subject Files, 1914-2010, Boxes 4-17","A large collection of material relating to Lilla Richards’ long-time involvement with the McLean Citizens Association (MCA) constitutes this series. Every aspect of the organization’s activities and policies is covered. MCA has been an informal “town government” for McLean and has had a significant impact on the area’s development through most of the twentieth century. The history of MCA from its formation in 1914 into the early twenty-first century is represented by Richards’ notes, correspondence, copies of MCA newsletters and committee reports, and countless newspaper clippings and related items detailing many subjects such as transportation, zoning, schools, trees, subdivision names, Tysons Corner, McLean’s Central Business District, the McLean Community Center, taxation, politics, and civic awards.","Series 3: McLean Citizens Foundation Administrative Records, 1975-2014, Boxes 18-27 ","Every aspect of the work of the McLean Citizens Foundation (MCF) is detailed in these files. The organization was created in 1978 to manage money raised by the MCA to support numerous civic improvement projects in McLean. These include grants for parks, such as the McLean Central Park; schools; the McLean Community Center; Little League fields; and the Claude Moore Farm at Turkey Run. Grant papers, foundation minutes and reports, bylaws, and brochures populate the files in this series. In 2009, the organization’s name became the McLean Community Foundation.","Series 4: Evans Farm Controversy Files, 1969-2000 (bulk 1998-2000), Boxes 28-31","For decades, the Evans Farm Inn and its surrounding grounds provided a park-like atmosphere for local residents to have a meal and let their children feed ducks. It was a very popular location but started to decline in the 1990s. Following the death of the original owner, Bayard D. Evans, in 1980, the family eventually decided to sell the property in the late 1990s. This created a firestorm of opposition from the surrounding community that resulted in a court case that failed to prevent the sale. This series contains a large quantity of material on these efforts to stop the transaction. Lilla Richards was involved in these efforts. Materials include notes, newspaper articles, correspondence, bumper stickers, donor lists, and zoning materials. The donation records in Boxes 30 and 31 are restricted due to containing personal checks and signatures. ","Series 5: McLean Planning Committee Files, 1967-2001, Boxes 32-33","This series contains Richards’ collection of clippings, correspondence, committee reports, and related materials that detail the workings of the McLean Planning Committee (MCP).

This series reflects this involvement and provides insight into the role of local residents, and Richards herself specifically, in trying to grapple with the constant changing of an older and increasingly heavily populated suburb of the Nation’s Capital. Transportation planning included interstate highways, such as I-495 (The Capital Beltway) and I-66; the Dulles Access and Toll Roads; Metro; DART, and Dulles International Airport. The intensity of the transportation development in Fairfax County in the late twentieth century is the main focus of this series.","Series 8: Election Files, 1971-1991","Sub-Series 8-1: Local Election and Political Topics, 1971-1991, Boxes 79-81 \nRichards was involved in elections from the local civic association level to the county-wide and state level. She was elected the president of the McLean Citizens Association and other groups. Included here are her files on local elections and associated political topics. As a politician, Richards maintained information on her allies and opponents, and so this series contains files on John T. (Til) Hazel, J.

Thoburn.","Sub-Series 8-2: Lilla Richards 1987 and 1991 Campaigns, 1987-1991, Boxes 81-83 \nIn 1988, Richards ran for Dranesville District Supervisor and won.
