Sisson House Allée, Fairfax City, VA

I find this allée to be quite mysterious, so I tend to check in on it.

Centreville Rd., Changing Landscape

All photos are from the wooded parcel on the SW corner of Centreville Rd. & Barnsfield Rd. (A small parcel of land shown is adjoining Barnsfield Rd. on the North). There is a family cemetery (The Turley-Hutchison-Wilcoxon Family Cemetery) on said SW tract, quite close to the corner. No gravemarkers were visible from the road. I have been assured by FCPA Cultural Resources Branch that the cemetery was delineated and will be appropriately held out from the coming development.

Ruins of Matildaville, VA

Took a trip out to Great Falls Park this afternoon to record the ruins of the former town of Matildaville (chartered in 1790). For more information on Matildaville, visit my friend Debbie Robison's awesome blog: Northern Virginia History Notes. She has a fabulous page on the Formation and Development of the Town of Matildaville, Virginia. All town lot information that I present here is referenced from her blog.
