Over the weekend two authors will be on hand talking about and signing their books. Robert Dorr has written numerous books on World War II topics.

Family Fun Slated for Historic Huntley Summer Social

Historic Huntley is owned and operated by the Fairfax County Park Authority and is a part of Huntley Meadows Park. This historic property was newly restored and opened to the public in 2012. It is a stunning example of Federal period architecture and was once owned by Thomson Francis Mason, grandson of the Founding Father George Mason. Thomson Francis Mason built Huntley as a summer retreat from the city of Alexandria, D.C. where he worked as a lawyer, and also served as a mayor and federal judge. Huntley later was transformed into a dairy farm by the Harrison family in the late 19th century. Historic Huntley captivates us with stories of power, home, and endurance.
