Harley Road Terminus, Mason Neck, VA

This road led to one of George Mason's mills, which was in existence from at least the early 1700s, on Kane's Creek.

The road only came to be called "Harley Road" in the mid-1800s, after the Harley family bought and settled on most of the surrounding property. Older maps only refer to it as "the Mill road."

It is most likely, one of the oldest roads in Fairfax County.

Meeting House Lot, Fairfax County, VA

In the early 1850s, a parcel of land designated for a meeting house was deeded by free person of color, George Williams (aka George Cash) to a group of free black men. After the Civil War, several of these men went on to become founding trustees of Shiloh Baptist Church.

At this present time, no specific name or denomination has been attributed to this meeting house.

Shiloh Baptist Church, which is curently located on the South side of Gunston Road across from the main entrance of Gunston Hall, was originally located on the North side of Gunston Road on the cemetery lot.
