Welcome to Lincoln, Virginia
Lincoln is an historic unincorporated village in the Loudoun Valley of Loudoun County, Virginia, located approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Purcellville. It was established as the community of Goose Creek during the 1750s by Quaker settlers and renamed Lincoln after the president shortly after his election.
Lincoln is home to many stately homes, the Goose Creek Friends Meeting House and Goose Creek Historic District, the Glebe of Shelburne Parish, and an historic Quaker cemetery. The village is surrounded by and included in the Goose Creek Historic District.

Note from the President
Whether you are living in and around our historic village or you are just planning a visit, I hope you appreciate the small town atmosphere and the great sense of history of our Village. As president of LCL, I enjoy bringing our neighbors together at events organized throughout the year. From the annual July 4th parade to Christmas caroling, our Village thrives on the wonderful sense of community that makes Lincoln such a special place.
One of my goals, along with the LCL Board, is to reach out to all Lincolnites and increase participation from a broader range of established and newer residents in the area. Looking at the attendance at our events over the past few years, I feel that those goals have been successful. But we cannot keep up with all the newcomers arriving or the old timers leaving without the help of neighbors and friends. Please make greeting new neighbors and saying goodbye to those leaving one of your priorities - ad let Ellie Daley know of any changes in your neighborhood.
Please feel free to contact me should you want to get more involved in LCL or if you have any questions.

Snow Reminder
Although it’s been a light snow year so far, I want to remind everyone of a few things when it snows. First, the parking lot by the Goose Creek Meeting House belongs to them. In the event of a snow event,
cars are not to be left there. In the event you must leave a car there, your name and phone number MUST be left in the windshield. Also, sidewalks must be cleared as there are children required to walk to school on those sidewalks, and Village residents use them to get to the Post Office. If you need help, please reach out as there are several able-bodied youth in the Village that could help.

Annual July 4th Lincoln Parade & Potluck
Lincoln’s annual July 4th Parade and gathering was fun for all! Our Village was treated to musicians, animals, singers and just a lot of adorable and fun participants! Many thanks for all those that made the effort to share and march through the Village! The parade was followed by a special performance of Lincoln Elementary students singing two patriotic songs and the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence. Lincoln residents brought ample food to share with neighbors and friends, as folks ate and enjoyed the wonderful music of the Plank Stompers.

Annual Egg Hunt
On Saturday, April 4th the rain stopped just in time for the annual LCL sponsored Egg Hunt. Over 30 children were in attendance! Our parent volunteers hid hundred of eggs while the kids played traditional spring games such as Peep toss, hopscotch, egg & spoon race, and sack relay. Friends and neighbors chatted over coffee and delicious treats, including Jean Brown's famous bunny cake! Prizes were awarded to those who found the six gold and silver eggs, plus a jar full of jelly beans to the winner who came closest to the 274 count! Thank you to all our volunteers and participating families for helping to keep our village traditions alive!
