The West Fairfax neighborhood has lots to see including Lake Pelham and Regal Culpeper.
Wander through a downtown where red-brick Civil War buildings now house artisanal shops and farm-to-table restaurants with surprising sophistication. The State Theatre anchors cultural life with performances that draw visitors from across the region. Lake Pelham offers peaceful recreation while Old House Vineyards serves award-winning wines in settings that make even casual sippers feel like connoisseurs. The Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation houses America's film and sound treasures in a former Federal Reserve bunker. History buffs can explore nearby Brandy Station, site of the Civil War's largest cavalry battle. After sampling spirits at Belmont Farms Distillery, catch sunset views along the Rapidan River where locals fish with quiet determination.
