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.

​My talk is called
“Did You Know … ?”  Interesting and unusual stories from four hundred years of Prince William County history.
 I am a native of Indiana, a graduate Indiana University with a masters degree in library science.  I have lived in the Washington DC area since 1970, and have worked with Prince William Public Libraries for 43 years.  Our genealogy and local history department (“RELIC”) is located at Central Library in Manassas.  Our staff is happy to help anyone with their family history regardless of where their family originated.   Although I am from Indiana, I happen to have a number of ancestors who lived in the Northern Virginia area over two hundred years ago.

 Katherine Turner, editor and author of contemporary romantic women’s fiction that explores the power of love and human resilience in the wake of trauma and abuse. As a survivor of childhood trauma and abuse, She is passionate about improving the world through literature, empathy, and understanding.
I believe strongly that we can all benefit from deeper insight into and compassion for the long-term effects of trauma in the world around us.
