Fauquier History Museum at the Old Jail
Warrenton, Virginia
Description

The Fauquier History Museum at the Old Jail is located in the old Fauquier County prison complex which includes two jails; one built in 1808 and the other in 1823. In 1966, the complex was closed and taken over by the Fauquier Historical Society to be used as a history museum.

Visitors to the Fauquier History Museum at the Old Jail experience a wide variety of exhibits. Our displays cover the history of the jails, but also delve into many aspects of Fauquier County history from Pre-Columbian times through the mid twentieth century.

The Old Jail Museum, located in the heart of downtown Warrenton, Virginia, is the home of the Fauquier Historical Society.
