Village of Bluemont Heritage

Where The Past Is Present

Bluemont Heritage was formed to preserve the historic buildings and the rich culture of our village. We strive to increase the public’s knowledge of life and work in an early American rural community.

Snickersville Academy was featured in the January 2024 Middleburg Life magazine. The article can be read here.

Preserving Over 270 Years of Bluemont History

The purpose of this website is to preserve the two and a half centuries of  Bluemont’s (formerly Snickersville)  history and to share the past life and times in the village in a digital form.

The Plaster Museum Of Bluemont Heritage is home to the collections we have acquired. We are always adding to the archives, and welcome any Bluemont information to be submitted to our Committee for preservation. Send us your information by clicking here.
