Museums
You've come to the right place if museums are your thing. In Fairfax County two of our more popular museums are visited by hundreds of thousands of people a year. George Washington's Mount Vernon, which boasts 23 incredible galleries and interactive exhibits focused on our founding father's story, and the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, where you can witness the incredible presence of the iconic Space Shuttle Discovery and hundreds of other air and space craft that shaped the history of flight. These, in addition to the other world-renowned Smithsonian Museums in DC make this area second to none in exploring our nation's history.
