The rich history of Loudoun County is celebrated at Loudoun Museum, a private, non-profit corporation in Leesburg. Housed in buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, the museum is the only of its kind in the county, home to 8,000 artifacts that paint a picture of the county's storied past and its inhabitants.
Exhibits rotate but consistently promise something interesting for kids and grown-ups alike. Adults will enjoy taking a peek at Civil War-era artifacts, old manuscripts, historic textiles, and much more. The museum's Discovery Room offers kids a chance to dress up in period clothing and play make-believe in the 19th-century period kitchen.
Loudoun Museum is open Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults and free for members and kids four and under. Don't skip the museum's popular Hauntings Tour, a 90-minute walking tour of downtown Leesburg's haunted establishments that takes place every October. It's a spooky good time!
