The village of Bluemont (formerly Snickersville), VA, was first incorporated in 1807. Located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the village was originally a series of hunting paths for local Native Americans. When the W&D railroad opened a terminus at Bluemont during the early twentieth century, it enjoyed two decades of prosperity as a vacationing spot for Washingtonians. Today Bluemont remains a small village rich in history and culture.

Henry G. Plaster(1928- ), widely considered the historian of Bluemont, was approached by a Loudoun County employee about participating in the Historic Districts Project. Mr. Plaster compiled a series of essays about Bluemont's buildings, history, and culture during 2005 and 2006, and donated them to Thomas Balch Library after their completion.
