Fauquier History Museum at the Old Jail

www.fauquierhistory.com
The Warren Green Hotel (now the Warren Green Building) was originally built on the site of the Norris Tavern in 1819. In 1825, General Lafayette was given
a banquet here and addressed a crowd of 6,000, including James Monroe, Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay, who later declared his run for presidency here.
In 1862, General George McClellan bade farewell to his troops after being relieved of command of the Army of the Potomac. The hotel burned and was rebuilt
in 1876. The new structure hosted President Theodore Roosevelt, and was the residence of Wallis Warfield Simpson who spent a year here in 1927 while
awaiting her first divorce so she could marry the man who would abdicate the throne of England, King Edward VIII, to become the Duke & Duchess of Windsor.
One of Virginia’s most perfectly preserved jails from the early 1800’s. The
jail buildings now feature displays concerning history of both the jails
and Fauquier County as a whole.
The footprints of Confederate and Union soldiers can still be found throughout Fauquier County. Many battles and skirmishes were fought throughout
Fauquier, its towns and countryside frequently occupied by Union and Confederate troops.
Brentmoor (Spilman–Mosby House)
173 Main Street, Warrenton 20186
After the second Battle of Manassas, which took place just 6 miles from Fauquier County, over 1,800 wounded soldiers were brought to makeshift
hospitals in Warrenton’s businesses, churches and homes. Around 650 casualties of the Civil War, were laid to rest in the Warrenton Cemetery. Fauquier
boasts over 16 Civil War Trail sites, many registered historic districts, numerous historic buildings & sites, and several museums.
On the National Register of Historic Places, this home was built between
1859 and 1861 by Edward Spilman, a well-known local attorney and judge.
By 1866, the Confederate “Gray Ghost”, John S. Mosby, had moved into the
home with his family while pursuing his law practice in Warrenton.
Following the War, Confederate Colonel John S. Mosby made his home in the Town of Warrenton where he practiced law for a time prior to becoming the
American Consul to Hong Kong. Mosby is also buried in the Warrenton Cemetery.

Remington
Situated on a scenic natural crossing of the
Rappahannock River in Southern Fauquier
County, between Charlottesville and Manassas,
Remington was founded in the early nineteenth
century. The town served as a transportation link
on the Rappahannock River Canal and later the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad before becoming
the commercial hub of Southern Fauquier County.
During the Civil War, Remington witnessed
numerous engagements, including the Battle of
Kelly’s Ford, the Raid at Rappahannock Station,
and the Battle of Brandy Station — the largest
cavalry engagement of the war.
