This was a great way to see the hidden gems of Southern Fairfax County straight from a local! We started the tour at George Mason's Gunston Hall, a beautiful piece of property and home on the preserved Mason Neck. Our tour guide, Lacie, provided us with history and facts about the "Father if the Bill of Rights" while showing us inside his home. Next, we headed on the bus to Gum Springs (via Old Colchester Road, which is part of the Potomac path) - an African American community founded by one of Washington's freed slaves (West Ford). Gum Springs has a museum which tells the story of this unique enclave. Next, we headed down to the Lorton Workhouse and Occoquan Regional Park - home of the future Turning Point Suffragist Memorial. The Lorton Workhouse is currently home to Fairfax's local arts scene, but previously housed women incarcerated for protesting for the right to vote. Through this tour, we learned about the 1st through 10 Amendments, Amendments 13-15 and 19th, and toasted to the 20th Amendment by enjoying craft brews at one of Fairfax's local breweries - Fairwinds!
