The Middleburg Library Board hosted its sixth event in the library’s Local Book and Author Series, a talk and question-and-answer session at Welbourne by the co-authors of A Path Through Willisville, Carol Lee, chair of the Willisville Preservation Foundation, and local historian Lori Kimball. Willisville is just up the road from Welbourne and the recently published book is a history of the Western Loudoun County African-American community which, in 2019, became the first village of its kind in the county to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
