WELCOME N ot only is Fairfax County the home of our nation’s first president, one of the most impressive collections of air and spacecraft around, and the country’s only National Park dedicated to the performing arts, but these attractions also give you the opportunity to experience history in a very authentic, intimate way. Better yet, you get to experience it up close. When you visit George Washington’s Mount Vernon, you’ll walk directly in his footsteps throughout his beloved home, which has been accurately restored to the time of his passing, see original objects and artifacts on display, and admire the pristine view of the Potomac River from his expansive porch – just as he did. And with Washington, DC just a few miles away, Fairfax County is a close, convenient and less-expensive home base for exploring all our nation’s capital has to offer. Vibrancy, authenticity, diversity, quality, quantity, proximity. They say “Virginia is for Lovers,” and there sure is a lot to love here. • Discover more things to do at FXVA.com 8 • FAIRFAX COUNTY VISITORS GUIDE
