Patawomeck Indian Tribe leases Stafford park land for new village

STAFFORD COUNTY -- The Patawomeck Indian Tribe hasn’t had a permanent home for 300 years, but the Stafford Board of Supervisors voted 7-0 in favor of leasing a portion of a county-owned property at Duff Green Park to the tribe.

It is a 10-year lease and can be renewed up to four additional times.

The property will be used as an Educational Museum and Cultural Village with the purpose of educating the public on tribal history, displaying artifacts, and using interactive displays to show the tribe’s way of life.
