A Brief History of Fairfax, Virginia 

The Park Authority protects, manages and preserves thousands of natural and cultural resources located within 19,326 acres of parkland. These stewardship responsibilities, in the natural world, extend to the plants and animals found there, the communities such as forests and wetlands which they form and the physical environments such as stream valleys in which they exist. The cultural resources, bits and pieces of our history which allow us to understand our present and plan for our future, include structures, roads, landscapes, folklore, artifacts, historic and prehistoric archaeological sites. These resources are preserved for your enjoyment, for the education of your children.

Colvin Run Mill and Sully Historic Site

Fairfax County is rich in its cultural heritage. The Park Authority owns and operates two sites of historical significance to Fairfax County: Colvin Run Mill and Sully. The two sites hold special historical events throughout the year.

COLVIN RUN MILL is located at 10017 Colvin Run Road in Great Falls . Nestled between Tysons Corner and Reston, Colvin Run Mill is an early 19th century operating gristmill. The old Miller?s House features an exhibit about the process of milling and the families who operated the mill. Another exhibit in the renovated 20th-century dairy barn features the history of the Great Falls community around the mill.

Restored in 1972, Colvin Run Mill is an award-winning restoration and a Virginia landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It offers daily tours, educational programs, special events, and outdoor concerts. The mill operates on a regular basis. You can picnic on the grounds, feed the ducks, and learn about America's technological roots. Also on the grounds is the Colvin Run Mill General Store. It originally served the local community and continues to function today as a sales shop offering penny candy, freshly ground cornmeal and wheat flour, and an array of old-fashioned goods.
