Learn about the town’s history by visiting the Freeman House and Museum. The store and home were built in 1859. When the home was vacated during the Civil War, it served as a headquarters for Confederate troops, and later for Union troops. The house has been restored to look as it did during that time, and on the second floor there are displays of Civil War artifacts. Across the street from the museum sits Centennial Park, an entrance to the Washington and Old Dominion Rail trail, and a fully restored Vienna Caboose!
To take in the area’s natural beauty, visit the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. Stroll along the walking trails to see a variety of plant and flower species. See cherry trees, aquatic plants, azaleas, lilacs, an herb garden and more. You can also find special collections that feature native plant species.
