Historical Tours of African American Cemetery at Bull Run Regional Park
The African American Cemetery at Bull Run Regional Park dates back to about 1775, when Robert Carter III, a wealthy Virginian who eventually freed all of the persons he enslaved, authorized the creation of the Bull Run Baptist Meeting House on one of his plantations. Bull Run Regional Park now sits on part of that old plantation land. The Fairfax NAACP branch has been working with NOVA Parks to improve access to the cemetery and promote public awareness of its significance.
Members of the branch are available to give brief historical tours of the cemetery. The tours are about one hour long and cover the history of the cemetery and its significance into our own day. The tour is suited for middle school-age youths up to adults and is ideal for faith community groups and schools.
Contact jmdister@gmail.com to schedule a tour.
A friendly reminder to those who pay annual membership dues to belong to the NAACP:
We rely on those dues payments to help us meet our financial obligations, both at the local, state, and national level. Your contributions and engagement are important to us. Please take a moment to check your membership card and see if it’s time to make your dues contribution.
Payment is simple. The following link will bring you to our Fairfax County NAACP web site, where you can update your membership information and then pay via PayPal. Please also consider making a donation when you remit your dues payment.
We very much appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to engaging with you.
For questions about your membership dues, please contact our Branch Secretary Mike O’Brien at secretary@fairfaxnaacp.org.
