In Leesburg in 1967, beneath the modern facade of a building about to be razed to create parking spaces, an intact log cabin was discovered. A committee of citizens came together to restore and preserve that cabin. Research showed that the building was the original Stephen Donaldson silversmith shop built in 1767; today it is the restored log cabin on West Loudoun Street owned the the Town of Leesburg. From these simple roots, the committee evolved into the Loudoun Restoration and Preservation Society. Committed to saving Loudoun County's unique cultural heritage for future generations, LRPS today devotes itself to raising funds to support the preservation and continued use of the county's landmark buildings, country churches, historic downtowns, and significant sites.
