How it All Began
Our History
Arthur Godfrey and his wife Mary Bourke purchased Beacon Hill, a 326-acre farm in 1946. Arthur Godfrey was one of the most popular radio and television personalities in the United States during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. He flew his planes—first a Beechcraft, later a DC-3—from Leesburg to New York City as his weekly commute. Originally, the land he used for an airport was just east of what was then the edge of town, about where Leesburg Plaza shopping center is now. When the noise got to be too much for Leesburg citizens, Godfrey sold the land and donated the proceeds to the purchase of new land on Sycolin Road, where the Leesburg Executive Airport is today.

Inspiration
Our Logo
The Beacon Hill brand is inspired by the surrounding neighborhood, where all the streets are named after Kentucky Derby winners, like Winning Colors and Bold Venture. Which makes sense when you consider that in addition to being golf country, Loudoun is horse country. An equestrian center is right down the block.
