"A WALK ON THE HILL" EVENT HISTORY
An old area of special atmosphere, known locally as “The Hill”, the Windover Heights Historic District was founded April 2, 1979 and is an excellent representation of both period architecture and environmental harmony. The long standing historic houses are of fine character.
In recent years, many additions and renovations have been designed to blend with and complement the historic characteristics of the neighborhood.
Winding streets reflect farming patterns of an earlier age; ancient trees and gardens are testimony to a continuing appreciation of natural beauty. Associated with events and people in the history and growth of Vienna, the Historic District reverberates with echoes of the town’s past.
In 1971 the “Walk on the Hill” was initiated by the Ayr Hill Garden Club and residents of the area to focus attention on the importance of preserving this unique and historic neighborhood. Since 1983, Historic Vienna, Inc. (HVI) has co-sponsored with the residents for this annual event. HVI is supported by the Town of Vienna Department of Parks and Recreation. Special thanks to:
