Lincoln Preservation Foundation

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote public interest and involvement in protecting and preserving the historical, agricultural, architectural, and rural character of Lincoln, Virginia, the Goose Creek Historic District, and surrounding areas. 

 

Historical resources create a distinct sense of community identity and continuity for both residents and visitors. The people, neighborhoods and communities, their relationships, their achievements and traditions; the churches, schools, homes and other buildings, bridges, other structures; the past, both historic events and individual memories, combine to form a culturally diverse heritage that is unique to the Goose Creek Historic District. 

About Us

Lincoln Preservation Foundation was founded in 2000 by community members concerned about encroaching development on the Goose Creek Historic District.  The  District is a 10,000-acre tract of mostly fertile farmland and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.  It includes working farms, historic schools, churches, a century-old nursery business, and other historically and architecturally significant sites.  It is also known for its scenic beauty, meandering waterways, and narrow, winding gravel roads.
