Interesting place to visit. I liked how all the rooms are open to walk through.
You can walk around the property for free, don't. Instead spend the five ($5} dollars per head and get a guided tour. You'll get so much more information in a fun and engaging way. It's worth every penny.
Cool site. It’s very short but is interactive and would be fun for kids. It was a good follow up after visiting the Manassas Battlefield.
This museum is GREAT! They do a fantastic job of making it interactive with audio and allowing you to touch the objects. Would HIGHLY recommend.
This site has two claims to history. It operated as a field hospital during the Battle of Bull Run, fought only a mile from this house. Additionally, it is a plantation that dates to the 1830’s. There are not many plantations where the slave cabins are intact; however, this is one. While here, take a look at the photos detailing the logistical hurdles of relocating the cabins. This house is remarkably well-preserved for being nearly 200 years old. Dave Born gave us a great tour. Be sure to ask for a guided tour. Also, if it is summertime, check out the beautiful gardens while you are here.
Honestly my main reason for coming here was the fact that there are 4 gyms and 3 stops in Pokemon Go. It's a good destination for runs considering that, so I visit it pretty regularly. Whenever I have interacted with the staff they are very kind and friendly. And the site is actually very beautiful. Definitely worth 5 stars.
Our tour guide was super informative but not boring! He kept it interesting for sure, the building itself is a sight to see but to hear how everything unfolded there is super cool. My wife and I absolutely loved it, they aren't joking when they say hear see smell! One room had a barnyard scent to it which was decent but the medical room had gangrene as the scent and oh boy, do not I repeat do not get in close to take a smell of that one you WILL lose your appetite for quite a while. But it added to the feel and atmosphere if what stories were being told at the time, for the price (5$ a head) it's well worth it please stop by if you are in the area you won't regret it.
This place surely knew how to give an exciting, informative, and engaging tour. If all historical tours were like this, they'd have a lot more people wanting to visit! Well done!
Soldiers wounded at the Manassas Battlefield were brought here. Lots of ghost stories associated with the house and grounds. This is a nice place to spend an hour or more learning all about local history.
