(Back to Northern Virginia Intro)  

Fauquier County, steeped in equestrian tradition, and surrounded by wineries and vineyards. Today Fauquier County is known for being at the heart of hunt and wine country. Famous for its horse farms and beautiful rolling land at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Fauquier offers contrast as both a natural haven and gateway to bustling Northern Virginia and the D.C. Metropolitan Area

Living in Fauquier

In Fauquier, the rolling land traversed by wooden fences and old stone walls that speak of history, hide the quaint towns and villages that instill the special character of this unique place.  The choice of homes in Fauquier span the spectrum.  From condos, town homes, single family, planned developments, in-town living to custom built and large or small farms. Since Fauquier is on the fringe of the D.C. metropolitan area, home prices are less than areas closer to D.C.

Rich in History

The rich and colorful history of the county where Chief Justice John Marshall grew up and Colonel John Singleton Mosby rode to fame is preserved in
markers and monuments and in twelve stops on
the Virginia Civil War Trails.

Old Town Warrenton, the county seat, is an architectural and historic treasure. The majestic columns and graceful spire of the "old" county Court House, still in use, beckon visitors to streets lined with well-preserved homes and appealing shops and restaurants. The Old Jail, built in 1808, houses a museum of local history. Modern accommodations, traveler services, shopping centers and a variety of restaurants border the tree-lined "old bypass" west of Old Town.

Recreation and Activities

A year round smorgasbord of events and outdoor adventures for the entire family is highlighted by the Virginia Gold Cup, spring and fall steeplechase races, the oldest horse shows in America, farm and stable tours, statewide wine festivals, winery tours and tastings, Civil War reenactments at Sky Meadows State Park, Flying Circus Airshows, antique shows, craft festivals, holiday parades and celebrations, trail rides and pick-your-own orchards.
