About

The Fairfield Foundation is excited to collaborate with Abingdon Church on another public archaeology excavation for the parish's anniversary celebrations in 2025. Our goal is to unite the congregation and our broader community in the search for the 17th-century Abingdon Church. This buried church served as the residence for many in the congregation during the American Revolution, even though they relocated to the third and current church in the mid-1750s. Students and the general public are encouraged to work alongside Fairfield staff to investigate the site of the earlier church, recover artifacts, and uncover the foundation.
