Last month I had work training in a far southwestern suburb of DC and as a result I had a rental vehicle. Having a vehicle while in the DC area is a rarity for me (I lived there for 7 years without one), so I took the opportunity to visit a few of the old historic downtowns of Warrenton, Manassas, and Leesburg.

But only heading back for a short time as I’ll be relocating back to DC in June for a new work opportunity. Hope you enjoyed this little tour of a few of Northern Virginia’s older historic communities!
