For the archaeological site located in Saginaw County, Michigan, see Fosters Site.
The Foster Site is a historic archaeological site on the campus of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. The site was the location in the 19th century of a homestead purchased by a free African-American woman, Catherine "Kitty" Foster. The site includes archaeological and foundational remnants of her house, an outbuilding (likely a smokehouse), a brick-lined well, and a family cemetery. Foster purchased a parcel of over 2 acres (0.81 ha) in 1833, that had originally been developed for African Americans working on the construction of the university.[2][3]
