After working in Warrenton for three years, the Old Courthouse majestically presiding over the…read morejunction of Waterloo, Winchester, Alexandria Pike, and Main became something of an old friend. I passed it every time I came to Old Town. It's the landmark to which you refer when giving directions. It's your indication you're leaving the "new" Warrenton and entering the old. On the hour, its bell tolls with a deep, resounding knell. Built in 1890 and the seventh incarnation of the original, the Old Courthouse is beautiful edifice modeled after the Parthenon. Towering over the ivory building is an absolutely *enormous* American Elm that has grown there for over 100 years, surviving against traffic, paving, Dutch Elm disease, and even a few accidents in its day. Despite its constant presence in my life for several years, I'd never actually been *inside* the Old Courthouse until I returned to Warrenton for a former coworker's wedding. She and her husband tied the knot in a simple but lovely civil ceremony in the one and only courtroom in the building. Too bad all courtrooms don't look as stately or as Federal. The gilded-frame portraits, bankers-chair-style chairs, gold chandeliers, and decorative molding reminded me a bit of Independence Hall. The courtroom actually made a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony. If you find yourself in Old Town Warrenton, take a few minutes to walk to the end of Main Street to admire the Old Courthouse. It's a photo opportunity you'll be happy you took.

I've seen some events at this entrance. Live bluegrass band. Halloween events. Santa Clause was in the caboose taking Christmas gift requests from the kids one year. You can walk to the downtown area and shop/eat. The Greenway itself is a bit historical. Information on site. The paved path stretches across Rte 29 via walking overpass and circles around for return trip the way you came. * When passing Taylor Elementary School you'll see a stop light. That's another entrance to the Greenway. Good for all types of exercise. Good place for kids to learn how to ride a bike or skate. Generally quiet area. Very shady. I like it.

I was driving down the interstate and all of a sudden I see this massive structure. I knew it was…read morehistoric. I flew on by realizing it would be painful trying to get there when I was on the same side as it was on my way to Shenandoah. On my way back, I managed to figure out what this place was. It was an old 5 story stacked stone structure built in 1742 that had survived several wars and milled food through all of them. in 1998, it was victimized by arson. The roof is gone, and the building has remanence from the fire. Currently, the mill is blocked off from being accessed. According to their website, they are making updates to the road. I accessed it by the railroad that runs behind the building, but as mentioned, the fence does prevent from access. It was really neat to see and I really wish it wasn't blocked off so I could get closer. It's definitely worth a stop if you're in Broad Run and into history.

However, I believe that the overlook remains fully closed, which is a huge bummer. It was a great view. That said, you can never go wrong with a walk in the woods! We saw lots of great scaly critter friends along the route. We took pictures, said hello, and left them alone. I think some of the concern about the overlook was that it was disturbing wildlife? So maybe with time we can prove we are worthy of this beautiful natural landscape.

Visiting on a Thursday afternoon in October, a kind man named Fred took my ticket ($5) and gave me a brief history of the building and museum before letting me explore on my own. Here's my experience: 1) Exhibits: Located on two floors in two different historic buildings, the exhibits are small, but mighty. They come with a wide range of historic artifacts, signs that tell their stories, and a range of perspectives from what it was like for women and those enslaved while at the jail house. They also talk about mental illness and the jail house. It's inclusive, which I appreciate. 2) Store: It's well stocked with books, cards, and trinkets. 3) Parking: There's street parking easy to find nearby.

I actually thought it was at the community center by Taylor MS. It's on Calhoun St right off main street downtown and beside the Mosby House. It's in a funky little spot, so off the beaten path. I walked in and announced I was here for recycling bags. The gentleman hosting the center was so nice. He asked my address and for my ID. He handed to two huge rolls of trash bags and a roll of recycling bags for free! He said these are available every year. For free! I was so happy! We talked a bit and I walked around inside the tiny center picking out pamphlets. Outside in the back they have quite a few picnic tables. They could use some outdoor landscaping and decor in places but I was happy to find this spot. Pretty neat.
