- Mosby_Heritage_Area_Association abstract "The Mosby Heritage Area Association was founded in 1995 in Middleburg, Virginia, as a membership-driven 501(c) 3 nonprofit preservation and historic organization. MHAA's mission is to educate about, and advocate for, the preservation of the extraordinary historic, cultural and scenic resources in the Northern Virginia Piedmont.Although MHAA is interested in the complete history of the area, it is named for the famed Confederate Cavalry officer John S. Mosby, whose rangers fought throughout the region during the American Civil War. As a history-oriented organization MHAA is focused on the complete history of the area, although the Civil War always will be a crucial part of the area's past, since so much of the war took place in Virginia. The Mosby Heritage Area was hit hard by the war, and an important part of the Association's mission is to study and teach its history, not to romanticize it. The Association's annual Civil War Conference, held each October, brings the nation's top scholars in the field for a weekend of lectures and field trips.When the Civil War ended, John Mosby disbanded his men and befriended President Ulysses S. Grant. Mosby went to work for the Grant Administration as a lawyer in the Interior and Justice Departments. Later, he served as Consul to Hong Kong under Presidents Hayes, Garfield, and Arthur. Back in the U.S., Mosby went to work for President Theodore Roosevelt as an assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice.The Mosby Heritage Area is located about one hour's drive west of Washington, D.C., and is bound by the Bull Run Mountains to the east, the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west, the Potomac River to the north and the Rappahannock River to the south. It encompasses the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax, Fauquier, Clarke, Warren and part of Prince William, some 1,800 square miles (4,700 km2). This unique area of the country consists of gently rolling hills, cool deciduous forests, lively winding creeks and broad rambling rivers. Accented by stunning vistas and an abundance of open space, the region is crisscrossed by scenic byways and historic thoroughfares once used by Native Americans, early settlers and soldiers.Portions of Evergreen Mill Road in Leesburg, in the heart of the Heritage Area, were once part of the historic Old Carolina Road, one of the most-used Colonial roadways in Virginia. That road originally functioned as a north-south migration route for Native Americans, who also followed the buffalo along what is now U.S. Route 50 (John S. Mosby Highway). Route 50 and Braddock Road in Colonial times were the main east-west corridors linking the port city of Alexandria to Winchester.During the Civil War the area was known as Mosby's Confederacy. The charismatic Mosby and his regiment of partisans were known for their daring raids behind Union lines, and for ambushing Union supply depots, transport lines, and troops.MHAA has its offices in the historic Caleb Rector House at Atoka, Virginia, four miles (6 km) west of Middleburg. It was in this house that Col. Mosby signed the documents on June 10, 1863, officially organizing his Civil War Rangers into Company A of the 43rd Battalion of the Virginia Cavalry. The house is now owned by the Atoka Preservation Society.The Mosby Heritage Area retains much of the landscape and many of the original historical landmarks from the past three centuries and provides a rich and rewarding environment for residents and visitors alike. The organization's mission is to preserve that rich legacy for future generations.The MHAA is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and Advisory Board and has a paid executive director and education director. Many volunteers work on the organization's many programs and services, which are designed to inspire area residents and visitors of all ages about the region's historic and scenic resources, encouraging them to support our preservation goals.".
