Ever heard of Blenheim? If not, you should really visit and get to know more about the place because it is just worth it.
Where is Blenheim located? You can find it at 3610 Old Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA 22030, just a short walk from the town.
Blenheim is a historic home which is composed of two buildings built on the same area. It served as a shelter for soldier boys during the civil war. In fact, the well-preserved wall graffiti which shows some of the signatures, is one the great attractions.
The property was privately-owned before it was purchased by the City in the late 1990s. It was restored and then a visitor center was built–which is now The Civil War Interpretive Center.
How about the parking? The site has a designated parking space for visitors and very easy walking trails–which is very convenient as well for people with physical impairments. As you go inside the structure, you can find numerous placards stating the estate’s history and the evolution over the centuries.
You can avail a group tour package to look and learn closely about the history of Blenheim and its significance both in the past and today. You can even request to add the surrounding areas on the tour such as the nearby graveyard.
