Who We Are

AAHA is headquartered in The Plains, Virginia and is open to the general public, schools and other organizations interested in local history and tracing their family and community records. AAHA is an organization designed for the purpose of teaching a complete and accurate history of the United States by including the influences of African Americans, Native Americans of both North and South America, and European Americans.

From primary source documents and family keepsakes, we have compiled a number of records into searchable databases for easy access and analysis. These database help to document the African-American experience from slavery to freedom in Fauquier County, Virginia.

For more information about AAHA, look through our 2023 Annual Report!

Thank you for making our work possible!
