The building subsequently served as a tenant house and, eventually, a gift shop in the 1960s before being vacant for many years. The house, and the tract of land on which it stood, changed hands many times. By the 1960s, the house and land belonged to the Hamblet family. They donated the house to Loudoun County in 1968 to be used as a tourist information center, but the Board of Supervisors returned it in 1971 because of concerns about cost and transportation.","On 28 March 1996, William Randall Hamblet, Susan Swink Hamblet, his wife, Susan Harper Hamblet, and Matthew Lewis Hamblet signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Board of Supervisors of Loudoun County. The memorandum conveyed a parcel containing the Stone House to the County of Loudoun. The gift stipulated that the building and its immediate surroundings be used as a \"park housing a museum and/or tourist information center.\" The building was to be moved to another parcel, also owned by the donors, at no expense to the donors and this was accomplished.","Joan Rokus, a former Loudoun County supervisor, became interested in preserving the building when the development of the Harper Park subdivision threatened the building's survival. She helped found Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park in 1996. In 1998, the Virginia State Corporation Commission issued a charter and the group adopted bylaws. The stated purpose of the organization was to support the reconstruction, occupancy, maintenance and preservation of the historic structure known as the Stone House at Harper Park. The organization achieved 501c3 status in May of 2004 which enabled it to receive tax exempt donations.","Rokus was the guiding force and first president of the board of Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park. The board worked closely with the county through the staff of the Department of Parks and Recreation. Plans for the restoration of the Stone House were drawn by John Milner Associates, Inc. of Alexandria, Virginia in 2001. Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park sought funding from various organizations, and in 2004 it was awarded $100,000 in federal funding through the Transportation Equity Act for the Twenty-First Century. There were also smaller grants from other organizations such as the Loudoun Restoration and Preservation Society and from businesses and individuals.","Despite these grants the board of the Friends of the Stone House realized that the funds were not going to be sufficient to complete the restoration work and make the house usable for the purpose designated in the deed of gift by the date set by the donors.  The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors was also becoming concerned about the mounting costs.  After considerable correspondence with the donors it was decided to give the property back to them. The remaining money was given to several historical and preservation societies in the county.","The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on November 13, 2007 to consider conveying the property to the donors. A letter in box 1, folder 13 indicates that the property was conveyed back to the family on that date. However, the final disbursement of the organization's funds did not take place until 2009 as noted in the agenda for a meeting of the \"Friends, Advisors, and guests.\" The date of this meeting was not given but the agenda was sent, apparently by e-mail, on April 19, 2009.","The collection consists of three boxes containing material saved by Joan Rokus concerning Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park. They are filed alphabetically by folder titles Rokus used. Some records such as minutes, committee reports, staff reports, correspondence, etc. are incomplete.","The property was given to the Board of Supervisors of Loudoun County by deed of subdivision and of gift on 28 March 1996 by William Randall Hamblet and Susan Swink Hamblet, his wife; Susan Harper Hamblet; and Matthew Lewis Hamblet, but there is no written record of the founding of Friends of the Stone House.

In 1834, doctrinal split and accusations and investigations of disorderly conduct resulted in the division of the congregation into the Old School and New School doctrines. In January 1834, Samuel Butcher, Jr. (fl. 1830s) deeded two acres of land to trustees of Ebenezer Church and gave instructions to allow any party of Baptist to use the Ebenezer Meeting House.","Both the Old School and New School Baptist congregations used the meeting house from 1834-1855. In 1855, the New School congregation built their own church after a fire in the Old Church. The New School built the New Church on land deeded from William Galleher (fl. 1850s) and his wife, Mary Galleher (fl. 1850s). In 1887, Ebenezer Cemetery Company was incorporated, and New Church's cemetery was chartered in 1888, however there is evidence of burials prior to the official chartering of the cemetery. Services in the Old Church discontinued in the early 1900s and The Cemetery Company acquired the title to the Old Church in 1934. The Cemetery Company's charter was revoked for non-payment of taxes in 1941 and it is believed that the New Church stopped holding services several years before this.","In December 1959, The Ebenezer Cemetery Company was officially reorganized and incorporated. Since the incorporation of the Ebenezer Cemetery Company the church has cleaned up the cemeteries, purchased land, and restored the churches. Both the Old and New Church were restored in the 1970s and 1980s. Ebenezer Cemetery Company won the Loudoun Preservation Society Award of Merit in 1992 and the churches were placed on the Virginia Register of Historical Places and National Register of Historical Places in1994.","This collection consists of the official records of Ebenezer Cemetery Company, including meetings and minutes from the years 1967-1993; treasurer's reports from the years 1965-1993; official and personal correspondence between board members and others; documents relating to programs held at the church; a list of the Company's directors and officers from the years 1936-1992. Also included are over 400 records of grave markers and Confederate grave markers.","The Ebenezer Cemetery Record ledger contains documents showing a change in the lot number system, an index of grave plots (1888-1967), and a list of endowments made to the cemetery. The collection also includes oversized sketches of the New Cemetery dated 1978 and 1979, and six ledgers. The ledgers, which cover the years 1923-1966, comprise a variety of records including: lot records, receipts, disbursements, endowments, donations, bonds, expenses and dues, meeting minutes, and a caretaker's book from the years of 1923-1966.","A scrapbook contains newspaper articles and images from the years 1890-1985. Some of the images found in the scrapbook include photographs of renowned painter and Airmont, VA native, Lucien Powell (1846-1930), church events (1984), restoration of the churches (1979), and more. Separate from the scrapbook's collection of images are photographs of Baptist pastors, Dr. J.L. Dagg (1794-1884) and Dr. Isaac Lake (1837-1922).","The collection also includes the project that earned Ebenezer Cemetery Company the Loudoun Preservation Society Award and the awarded certificate. Additional information about the church and cemetery can be found in the included Report of the National Register of Historic Places and the Application to Virginia Landmarks Register.","This collection consists of the official records of Ebenezer Cemetery Company, including meetings and minutes from the years 1967-1993; treasurer's reports from the years 1965-1993; official and personal correspondence between board members and others; documents relating to programs held at the church; a list of the Company's directors and officers from the years 1936-1992.

Their daughter, Anna Louise Ferguson (1883-1973) married William Thomas Clagett (W.T.C.) Rogers (1875-1930) of Leesburg in the chapel at Belmont on 7 June 1910. W.T.C. Rogers had several siblings, including Mary Oden Rogers (1868-1905) and Christina Rogers Wildman (1873-1943). Mary died before her brother's marriage. She drowned at a sanatorium in New York where she was being treated for an unspecified illness.  Although she never married she was engaged at the time of her death. Christina married and had two daughters, Anne (called Anna) Snowden Wildman Dyer (1895-1973) and Christine Wildman (1898-1958).","After their marriage, W.T.C. and Anna Rogers lived at Belmont for several years then settled in the town of Leesburg. They had two children, Nancy Graham Rogers (14 October 1912-27 January 2000) and William Thomas Clagett Rogers, Jr. (1914-1985). Nancy Graham Rogers graduated from Agnes Scott College in 1934 and taught science for a short time at Aldie High School. She eventually became a virologist working in medical research for the United States government at Walter Reed Medical Center. The U.S. War Department awarded her the Exceptional Civilian Service Medal in 1946 for her wartime work developing a typhus vaccine. In addition to her work in virology, Rogers was an award-winning photographer and had an interest in botany, speleology, and the study of bats. Life Magazine published a photograph of her working with bats in a Virginia cave in their 10 September 1956 issue. Her love of photography and botany produced an extensive slide collection of wildflower photographs from all over the world. Rogers was a member of the Leesburg Garden Club and left her collection of daffodils to the club. She was also an active member of St. James Episcopal Church. Although Rogers never married, her diary indicates she had an active social life in high school and college and was once engaged to a doctor, Albert C. Johnson (fl. 1930s). She kept his letters to her from 1937 to 1939, though there is no explanation of why they did not marry.

Most of the founding women were members of the Society of Friends, though involvement with the Friends was not a prerequisite for membership in the club. The constitution and bylaws of the club state that it is to \"Benefit the home by making housekeeping easier in the exchanging of recipes and the discussion of all topics tending to elevate and improve the home.\" One of the original requirements of membership was that every woman share a proven recipe at each meeting. Some of the recipes were eventually published in a cookbook written to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the founding of the club, a copy of which is included in the club's records.","Some of the early members of the club included:\nRachel Hoge Branch (1875-1944)Elizabeth Brown (1822-1904)Lydia Brown (1845-1926)Rebecca Brown (1858-1938)Mary Gregg (1853-1923)Virginia Hirst (1857-1936)Clara Hoge (1865-1947)Julia B.

The program usually consisted of one or more presentations by members. Presentations often included readings from published material or original writings, but were usually informational in nature. Topics included temperance, suffrage for women, civil rights for African Americans, foreign affairs, local history, and current events. During World War II there was a program on using sugar substitutes and members were asked to contribute sugar-shortage recipes. The membership also shared ideas about education, child rearing, and household maintenance.","Initially, membership was capped at twenty, though the club eventually expanded its membership to twenty-five. When a membership became available in the club, an active member nominated a woman in the community. Her name was brought before the club at a meeting, and each member voted to approve or deny the nominated woman. Balloting was done originally using a button box and white and black buttons. A white button placed in the box was a vote to approve the nomination, while a black button denied membership. The club's constitution stipulated that approval be unanimous. The button box was eventually retired in favor of a secret ballot, and, later, a vocal vote. New officers were elected each fall and took their posts in January..","The club worked with other organizations in the community to raise money for and awareness of issues affecting women and children. It collaborated with the Paxton Home for Children, Hamilton Book Club, Purcellville Woman's Club, and Leesburg Garden Club on various projects in the community. The Home Interest Club disbanded on 16 March 2013 as a result of low membership.","This collection is made up of the administrative papers of the Home Interest Club.

It continued to serve as an integrated elementary school until 1982. From 1982-2001 the site was used as a community center where programs like Head Start and special education programs were held. After 2001 the building did not hold classes, programs, or activities, but was used for school board offices and storage. In 2010 Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) began considering demolishing the original school structure. The decision was a controversial one, and the public school system, with encouragement from community members and organizations, commissioned several reports on the school's history and architectural significance. LCPS ultimately decided to tear down the school building, but to name the replacement elementary school Frederick Douglass.","As part of an effort to preserve the history of Frederick Douglass Elementary School for the Leesburg community, LCPS worked with several community-wide organizations including the Black History Committee of the Friends of Thomas Balch Library, the Town of Leesburg's Planning and Zoning Department, and the Department of African and African American Studies at George Mason University, to record oral histories with students, teachers, and administrators of Frederick Douglass Elementary School. They interviewed twelve members of the community in 2011 and 2012. Some of the interviewees attended or worked at the school during segregation, while some were involved with the school much later. One of the interviewees is Fred Drummond, principal of the school from the time it opened in 1958 until the school integrated in 1968. The interviewees discuss life in Leesburg over the years, their love for the school, and its importance to Leesburg, especially the African American community. LCPS then used the oral histories to create a video commemorating the original Frederick Douglass Elementary School and to create a permanent display at the new school. The video was shown at the dedication of the new Frederick Douglass Elementary School on 11 October 2012.","This collection consists of transcripts of twelve oral history interviews conducted by Loudoun County Public Schools and the Department of African and African American Studies at George Mason University during 2011 and 2012.

It continued to serve as an integrated elementary school until 1982. From 1982-2001 the site was used as a community center where programs like Head Start and special education programs were held. After 2001 the building did not hold classes, programs, or activities, but was used for school board offices and storage. In 2010 Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) began considering demolishing the original school structure. The decision was a controversial one, and the public school system, with encouragement from community members and organizations, commissioned several reports on the school's history and architectural significance. LCPS ultimately decided to tear down the school building, but to name the replacement elementary school Frederick Douglass.","As part of an effort to preserve the history of Frederick Douglass Elementary School for the Leesburg community, LCPS worked with several community-wide organizations including the Black History Committee of the Friends of Thomas Balch Library, the Town of Leesburg's Planning and Zoning Department, and the Department of African and African American Studies at George Mason University, to record oral histories with students, teachers, and administrators of Frederick Douglass Elementary School. They interviewed twelve members of the community in 2011 and 2012. Some of the interviewees attended or worked at the school during segregation, while some were involved with the school much later. One of the interviewees is Fred Drummond, principal of the school from the time it opened in 1958 until the school integrated in 1968. The interviewees discuss life in Leesburg over the years, their love for the school, and its importance to Leesburg, especially the African American community. LCPS then used the oral histories to create a video commemorating the original Frederick Douglass Elementary School and to create a permanent display at the new school. The video was shown at the dedication of the new Frederick Douglass Elementary School on 11 October 2012."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection consists of transcripts of twelve oral history interviews conducted by Loudoun County Public Schools and the Department of African and African American Studies at George Mason University during 2011 and 2012.

These organizations were products of Populism and the Progressive Era, and were part of Loudoun County's effort to recover economically and agriculturally from the destruction of the Civil War. Farmers' clubs fostered cooperation among the county's farmers, leading to improvements in animal husbandry and agricultural techniques. Advances in farming led to the desire to purchase fertilizer and farm implements from outside the county, and clubs made it possible for farmers to make expensive purchases cooperatively. Clubs also kept farmers' aware of current prices on many products, allowing them to make informed decisions on when to buy and sell, and at what price.","Several clubs operated in the years following the Civil War, including the Patrons of Husbandry, also called the Grange, Catoctin Farmers' Club, and Aldie Farmers' Club. The Grange ceased operation after a few years, but the farmers' clubs gained traction. Lovettsville Farmers' Club was formed in 1911, and the Planters' Club in 1915. Meetings were similar across the clubs, with most held at the home of one of the members. They included reports of current market prices, presentations by members or invited speakers on topics of concern to the farmers, tours of the hosts' farms and barns, and refreshments.","Most clubs restricted their membership to ensure that club meetings could be held comfortably at the homes of members. As the effectiveness and popularity of the clubs grew, it became necessary to either expand membership or form new clubs. In 1915, Catoctin Farmers' Club was full and turning away new applicants for membership. Several farmers met in Leesburg on 19 February 1915 to discuss the possibility of starting a new farmers' club. In attendance were LeRoy Chamberlin (1883-1952), Henry Clarke Winslow (1877-1968),Thomas M. Fendall (1875-1948), Frank E. Saunders (1886-1966), and William A. Metzger (1874-1948). The new club, called the Planters' Club, was officially organized on 6 March 1915. The club elected officers: president, Winslow; vice president, Fendall; secretary, Metzger. While the Planters' Club drew some of its membership from the Catoctin Farmers' Club, there does not seem to have been any animosity or competition between the two clubs.","The Planters' Club followed the template set by earlier clubs and their meetings resembled them in most details. Initially only farmers were invited to join the club, but the membership now includes people associated with rural life in other ways, such as veterinarians, farm machinery dealers, and county extension agents. The topics covered by meeting programs have also expanded, and often include political developments, agricultural subsidies, and inheritance laws.

In addition, the founding members envisioned a Society that would sponsor educational programs for the public; publish and promote original historical research; and encourage donations of historical materials to ensure their availability for future generations.","The public response to the new organization was enthusiastic.  In the first year, the Society attracted 235 members many who attended popular lectures and tours of historical interest.  The Society produced a publication, The Bulletin of the Loudoun County Historical Society containing original research on subjects related to Loudoun County history.  Volumes were published in the years 1957-1976, 1997, and 2001-2011. Historical Society Secretary John Lewis (1930-2013) who took charge of editing and marketing The Bulletin, also maintained an extensive correspondence on the subjects of genealogy and other historical topics with the many who wrote inquiries to the Society.","General membership meetings were discontinued in 1976, and the organization was on hiatus until 2001.
