The Fairfield Foundation is excited to collaborate with Abingdon Episcopal Church on a new public archaeology experience for the parish’s anniversary celebrations in 2023, 2024, and 2025. We aim to unite the congregation and our broader community searching for the 17th-century Abingdon Church. Students and the general public are encouraged to work alongside Fairfield staff.
