About

As part of Fairfax250 and Virginia250 (VA250), step into the early 1800s and explore the essential work of women in the 19th century.

Discover how women shaped families, communities and the nation - then try hands-on activities like baking, candle making, sewing and traditional clothes washing at historic Colvin Run Mill (c. 1811).

Celebrate Women’s History Month while connecting to Fairfax County’s role in America’s story.
