View from back porch of Visitor’s Center looking at Mansion

Located in Fairfax City, VA, Historic Blenheim House is a 1859 brick house designed in Greek Revival Style.  During the American Civil War, Union soldiers were often encamped on the grounds surrounding the house and utilized it as part of a reserved hospital system.  As a result more than115 of the soldiers inscribed words and pictures on the first and second floor walls as well as the attic of the house.

Recreation of Mansion Attic in Visitor’s Center

A visitor’s center has recently been built on the property with a museum and a recreation of the attic walls.  There is also a lovely space available for parties, whether it be wedding reception, anniversary party, business gathering as we catered last night for a local law firm and customer appreciation event. There are few venues in the heart of Fairfax County Virginia that offer such amenities.
