Salona, Fairfax County, Virginia
by Ellen L. Anderson
About the author
Ellen L. Anderson is known for Salona, Fairfax County, Virginia, a historical study published by the Fairfax County Office of Comprehensive Planning in February 1979 and later made widely available through Project Gutenberg.
In that book, she traces the history of Salona, an important Fairfax County property, following its ownership, architecture, and role in the region over time. The work reflects strong archival research and an interest in preserving local history in a way that is useful to both general readers and history enthusiasts.
Little biographical information about Anderson was readily confirmed from the sources reviewed in this conversation, so it is safest to remember her through the work itself: a focused, well-documented contribution to the historical record of Northern Virginia.
