As you can see on our site and in person many of the homes, structures and the village itself look remarkably just like they did at its founding and in the early years of its history.  The Unison Preservation Society was founded in 2001 to ensure that  this wonderful, diverse and cozy village survives and thrives while continuing to reflect the modern world.

​

The village of Unison is one of the oldest communities in Loudoun County, Virginia. Unison was settled by Quakers in the 1730s and chartered as a village in 1813. Unison is also home to the Battle of Unison which took place during the American Civil War on November 1–3, 1862.

​

The Unison Preservation Society (a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation registered in Virginia) was incorporated in 2001 to help protect and preserve the historic village and surrounding countryside of Unison. Our village was placed on the Virginia Landmarks Register in 2002 and on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

​

The Corporation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, including but not limited to educating the public, promoting an appreciation of history, and otherwise benefiting the public by preserving, promoting, and fostering the natural character and the historic architectural and cultural qualities and resources of the areas in and around Unison, Virginia. It is funded through membership dues, donations from local residents and supporters, an annual Heritage Day, and other events
