Historic Pleasant Grove

A historic site and museum in McLean, Virginia, this former church was built in 1895 by and for African and Native Americans. It is also available for rental.

The Friends of Pleasant Grove maintain the building and hold free community events. Pleasant Grove has been restored and maintained by the Friends of Pleasant Grove, who hold three free community events a year--a Black History Celebration, a Pleasant Grove Day open house, and a Holiday Carol Sing-along in December--and run the Frances K. Moore Memorial Museum. Land Acknowledgment: Historic Pleasan

t Grove stands on the traditional lands of the Tauxenent/Dogue[Doeg] people, who were part of the original Powhatan Paramountcy, and whose ancestors resided here and throughout Fairfax County since time immemorial. Many Indigenous peoples continue to thrive here today, including descendants of Pleasant Grove founders.
