Things to do in Fairfax Station

Here are some great ideas for things to do in Fairfax Station.

Visiting Virgina, always leaves an impression on me.  I have been there over 20 times, and I still can't get enough of the wonderful south-east coast culture, and the great activities.

Of course, in Fairfax Station, you are close enough to enjoy the history and culture surrounding the founding of America.  It's easy to drive to Washington D.C. and visit the Capital, the White House, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, to name a few.  You can also roam the old streets of Arlington and marvel at the sacrifices each of our predecessors have made for us to enjoy the freedoms we have today.  While Washington D.C. is a great place to visit when you are in Virginia, there are also some local treasures right here in Fairfax Station.

Consider visiting the Fairfax Station Railroad Museum while you are in Fairfax Station.  The Fairfax Station was vital during the Civil War, and also the primary place where Clara Barton started the Red Cross.  You will learn about the Civil War, Barton's efforts as well as view some awesome model cars.  THe Fairfax Station Railroad Musuem is not to be missed.

There are many other historical places to visit in Fairfax County, including George Washington's house, and the Space Shuttle Enterprise, but Fairfax County is not a place to learn about history.  Fairfax Station also has a fun range of outdoor activities.  On your visit, consider visiting one of the local golf courses, or planning a day picnic in one of the parks.
