Welcome to the Short Hill Historical Society!
The Short Hill Historical Society, an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to discovering and preserving the history and historic landmarks of the Short Hill region of western Loudoun County and providing experiences that engage people of all ages in learning about and protecting the history of the area.

Update about Christmas in Hillsboro Homes Tour & Greens Workshop
The Christmas in Hillsboro Historic Homes Tour, hosted by the Short Hill Historical Society, won’t be held this year for a variety of logistical reasons. We are considering other options for this event. We will also wait to hold the Greens Workshop until the next homes tour.
