The Mary Washington Branch Maintains the Mary Washington House and Three Other Properties in Fredericksburg

Today, the APVA Branches act as advocates for preservation in their cities, counties or regions. The Branches are the base from which the organization operates. Located throughout the state of Virginia, these twenty-three branches have their individual areas of focus. Some Branches maintain properties and oversee the interpretation at a site. Other Branches focus on providing their region with educational opportunities related to preservation and preservation advocacy.

Whatever the individual mission, the Branches enrich the overall programs by diversifying the influence of the APVA throughout the State.

The Branches are divided into regions to maintain communications and effectiveness of their programs. Branch directors are elected on a rotating basis form the individual memberships and serve volunteer terms. Below is a listing of Branches and contacts by region.
