Stafford historian and author, Jane Conner, will be the guest speaker for the Stafford County Historical Society’s monthly meeting on Thursday, February 16th. Her talk will be about the influence George Washington and his father have had on Stafford and the nation. The meeting will begin at 7:30 pm and will be held at the Stafford Administration Building in the Board of Supervisors’ Chambers. All are welcome.

Jane was instrumental in preserving Government Island. It took her 29 years and a speech before Congress to get the island on the National Register of Historic Places.
