The Peter Hitt Farm: Uncovering Two Centuries of History on the Rappahannock River

Presented by Kristie Kendall Gifted to the Germanna Foundation between 2007 and 2017, the Peter Hitt Farm is an architectural and archaeological gem that provides a rare glimpse into two centuries of life in western Fauquier on the Rappahannock River. Peter Hitt, its builder, was a grandson of the 1714 Germanna immigrant of the same name. The presentation will discuss the unique historic and cultural resources on the property and what documentary research has revealed about the history of the property and the people who called it home.
