Description:
FAIRFAX. Built during the 1850s, this train station was the site of several historic battles during the Civil War and was used as an emergency medical facility for injured soldiers. The building has been authentically recreated, and now houses an interesting array of informative exhibits that are divided between the railroad industry and the Civil War. See the Norfolk & Western Caboose, examine Civil War uniforms and learn about how Clara Barton ­ who later created the Red Cross ­ volunteered to treat wounded soldiers here. Always popular with the kids, this is a unique setting for a party, event or meeting. The gift shop is the perfect place to pick up a souvenir or gift.
