The spotlight will be on the nation’s capital this summer as the D.C. region hosts numerous events to commemorate America’s 250th birthday. But you don’t have to commute into the city to celebrate — or wait until July 4th.
There are plenty of events taking place in Fairfax County, the cities of Falls Church and Fairfax, as well as the Towns of Vienna, Herndon, and Clifton.
A number of museums in Fairfax County are included in a new Virginia tourism campaign to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary next year.
Launched last week, the Virginia 250 Passport program includes the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center, George Mason’s Gunston Hall, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, the National Museum of the United States Army, and the Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House as part of a “passport” sweepstakes.
