Mike Washvill. Cold War Museum, Vint Hill, VA spoke to us about The Cold War Museum located at Vint Hill Farm.   His presentation highlighted how the property was purchased during World War II to be utilized as a station to intercept enemy intelligence traffic being sent through the Japanese Embassy in Berlin.  Once intercepted, the information was sent to the Signal Intelligence Service located at Arlington Hall Station for decoding.  Interestingly, over 70% of personnel working in this sensitive arena were women.  The information intercepted at this small farm located in  Fauquier County thousands of miles away from the fighting front was instrumental in the success of the Battle of Normandy on D-Day in 1945.

“Did You Know … ?”  Interesting and unusual stories from four hundred years of Prince William County history.
