Reviews of Fairfax Historic Courthouse Museum
"Very friendly staff willing to explain all the history and show you some cool documents. So many maps! Had fun ringing the historic bell and looking through the window where Union soldiers sniped Confederate rebels from. Great historical space in Fairfax County."
"Went to funeral there"
"It was a very neat old courthouse to visit, the third one in Fairfax after Tysons, then Alexandria. Current court proceedings have mostly moved to the nearby new courthouse (where the Depp-Heard trial was going on when I visited, so I couldn’t enter). It has a war memorial with Great War names through the Vietnam, and tours are welcome throughout the year. Fridays are designated days, but walk-ins are also allowed. It has a few firsthand documents of George Washington including his will, that are viewable upon request. Minus two stars for the loss of the marker for Cpt. John Quincy Marr, the first soldier to die in the War Between the States (it was moved to storage somewhere). Another star gone for the cannons that were removed. Self-righteousness should not be rewarded, especially since it was 160 years ago. The Fairfax officials might as well go to Warrenton Cemetery and spit on Cpt. Marr’s grave while there at it. Anyway, worth a visit for certain."
"Charming brick courthouse and well worth popping inside. The historian was friendly, knowledgeable and more than willing to show us around the courtroom. We were delighted with the colonial and civil war era documents we were shown from the archives. George Washington’s signature anyone?"
"The historical have us a great tour! Tours are usually at 3 but we didn’t realize and just wandered in. They were accommodating and stopped to show us around. The historian knew so much about the space and showed us great documents from the civil war soldier occupation of the courthouse and some revolutionary war era documents. More interesting and cool that we were even expecting!"
