thoroughfare community updates
The Thoroughfare community was established after the Civil War by African Americans and mixed-raced families, including Native American descent, from Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock and Warren counties. The farming community here prospered through the 1940s. The community had its own school (North Fork School and church (Oakrum Baptist Church). Today, a historic marker is located near the center of the historic village.
This webpage serves to provide updates to residents and stakeholders regarding Prince William County’s efforts to preserve and protect the Thoroughfare Community in partnership with the Coalition To Save Historic Thoroughfare.
