The Mosby Heritage Area retains
much of the landscape and many of the original historical landmarks from
the past three centuries and provides
a rich and rewarding environment for residents and visitors alike.
The Charismatic Mosby and his regiment
of partisans were known for daring raids behind enemy lines, and ambushing
union supply depots,
transport lines, and troops. Learn more.
Loosely bound by the Bull
Run Mountains to the east, the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains
to the west, the Potomac River to the
north and the Rappahannock River to the south.
1,800 square miles of gently
rolling hills, cool deciduous forests, lively winding creeks and broad
rambling rivers.
Accented by stunning vistas and an abundance of open space, the
region is crisscrossed by scenic byways and historic thoroughfares
once
used by Native Americans, early settlers and soldiers.
A mosaic of farms and rural communities enriched by centuries-old
mills, stone walls, churches and stately homes.
