If you're into American history, Gunston Hall is worth a tour to learn more about Founding Father…read moreGeorge Mason. The author of the Virginia Bill of Rights, Mason was contemporaries of George Washington and James Madison. Gunston Hall does a good job of bringing Mason's history to life. The visitor center includes an exhibit about his life, including areas for people of all ages to interact. There's even a dress up area that kids love. The house tour is $10 and it's the only way to go inside the 18th century mansion. The tour lasts around 45 minutes and they don't shy away from the fact that Mason enslaved between 100-300 people on his plantation. The garden behind the mansion is worth a visit as is hiking the trails, one which leads to the Potomac River. Mason and his first wife are buried near the mansion.

It's a beautifully designed space that honors an incredibly important part of history. The memorial is both informative and moving, highlighting the strength and perseverance of the women who fought for the right to vote. It was a powerful and inspiring experience, and a meaningful way to reflect on the day. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

The Barrett House is a two and a half story wood-frame house built in 1901 by William Wimsatt, a…read morelumber merchant from the DC. The house was later expanded and renovated for use as officer and employee housing for the DC's low-security Workhouse Prison Farm in Lorton. I am a big fan of historical places. This house has a lot of history behind it, but there is not much to it. You can only see it from the outside. It is fenced off and you cannot go in. There is a little area in front of the house that has a few benches and placards with historical information about the house. There is also an old brick fireplace looking structure on the grounds. There is a few places to park on the grounds that are unpaved, but there are no official parking spots. You could probably hang out on one of the benches on the grounds, but outside of that, I do not see much utility or spending a lot of time here. I was here for all of 10 minutes and then I was out.

Amenities: *reclining seats *Mobile ordering *season passes *movie themed watch parties But recently within the last 2 months, the food quality has changed. I never been a fan of the cocktails offered on the menu but the food used to be tasty. I have no clue what changed but it's drastically noticeable. Last week I ordered mozzarella sticks and queso and cheese. This is the second time I've gotten the queso and it has a weird taste. The mozzarella sticks had an after taste as well. If possible go back to the quality and taste that were previously available earlier this year.

This interesting marker predates the Civil War and Revolutionary War histories of the Richmond area…read moreand recall the days when Virginia was just an English colony. The marker reads, "In 1611, Farrar's Island was the site of the "Citie of Henrico," one of Virginia's first four primary settlement areas under the Virginia Company of London. Later, it was part of a 2,000-acre land patent issued posthumously to William Farrar in 1637. Farrar, who arrived in Virginia from London in 1618 aboard the Neptune, invested in the company under its third charter. In 1626, Governor Sir George Yeardley appointed Farrar to the governor's Council, a position he occupied until 1632. He also served as a justice for two counties. Farrar family members resided on the island until they sold it to Thomas Randolph on 26 Jan. 1727." There do not appear to be many Farrar's left in the area. [Review 11971 overall, 1754 of 2019.]
