Bruington – A New Rural Historic District In King & Queen

The Bruington Rural Historic District has been officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is now the third historic district within King & Queen County, joining the Newtown and King and Queen Courthouse Green districts. Last fall it was chosen by the Board of Historic Resources to be on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the application was submitted to the National Park Service for the National Register at that time. Local members of the Historical Society, along with Fairfield Foundation and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, were involved in the research and application process. Among the historic structures in the District are Bruington Church, Bethlehem Church, Rosemount, Erin, Marlborough, The Institute, Locust Hill, Norwood, Brewington, Greenview, The Vineyard, Cloverly, and others.
