The town of Purcellville celebrated its annual Heritage Day on Saturday. This year, however, the celebration had a special focus on the town's centennial. Purcellville was incorporated as a town on March 14, 1908.

The celebration, put on by the Purcellville Preservation Association, featured a walking tour of the town, a short film and oral history of the town called "The Stories Behind the Story of Purcellville," which ran throughout the day at the Purcellville train station.
