Take your time discovering original jail cells, historic artifacts, rotating exhibits, and the compelling stories of the prisoners, jailers, and community members who shaped Fauquier County’s past.

Please note that the museum is closed on the following holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Easter, Fourth of July, and Labor Day.
