In 1985, Mrs. James H. (A.V.) Symington donated the 286 acre Temple Hall Farm to the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority to be used as an educational and recreational resource for the people of Northern Virginia.  Following her death in 2003, Mrs. Symington's bequest included Temple Hall Farm Regional Park. This generous gift made the Visitor Center and park office building possible.

The Center is being constructed as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified “green” building.  LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system that provides third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

The purpose of the Visitor Center is to highlight the mission of Temple Hall Farm Regional Park and the LEED aspects of our new building.  Visitors can begin their Temple Hall Farm Park experience at the Visitor’s Center where you’ll find site maps, directions to exhibits, and information and brochures about Temple Hall Farm and events.

The center will include a multi-purpose room that can be used for meetings and gatherings of various types including birthday parties, exhibits highlighting agriculture in Loudoun County (past and present), public restrooms and office facilities. The adjacent exhibit barn will feature opportunities for children and adults to get “up close” to a variety of farm animals and learn about their care and feeding.  It will also feature hands on exhibits related to farming and agriculture.  Fully self-guided visitor experiences as well as opportunities for interpreter lead discoveries will be available as well.
