The Fauquier History Museum at the Old Jail — Attraction in Warrenton

We stopped in for a tour on a Sunday afternoon in April while traveling. Somehow I had heard about it and saved it on the map for when we were in the area.

There is a small admission fee with multiple discounts available. We were greeted by a gentleman who was working - I didn’t catch his name - but he was friendly, personable and had a knack for storytelling. He was very knowledgeable about the property and the history of it and the town and surrounding areas.

There are some informational displays in the first building and then there is a 5-10 minute film to watch before heading to the cells. It was interesting. This was a self guided tour but I believe they host other guided tours and sounded like they have some other events...

Also we tried to volunteer and she refused/ denied us and that’s discrimination. Seth and Laura and the other staff is wonderful, just Erin is rude and I don’t recommend going there, save your money and go to something else or to a different historical museum cause she doesn’t appreciate your money. Greed is all it...
