The 150th Battle of Bull Run Reenactment

Manassas is only 32 miles west of Washington DC, so you know that you can always pop in to the city for dinner or dancing at night. During the day you can visit one of the dozens of museums. But truth be told, you'll find lots of things to do in Manassas. Antique shops and vintage stores rule the day in Old Town Manassas. You'll find lots of one-of-kind home furnishings to doll up your new home.
But Manassas is most famous for hosting the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861 and the Second Battle of Bull Run from August 28 - August 30, 1862. Visit the Manassas National Battlefield Park, operated by the National Park Service. This beautiful Virginia landscape is a haunting tribute to the thousands of men who fought there. While the South won the battle both sides saw huge numbers of dead and wounded. The North had 460 killed, 1,124 wounded, and 1,312 missing or captured; Southern casualties included 387 killed, 1,582 wounded, and 13 missing. Until that point in US history, it was the bloodiest battle ever fought.

It tells the story of Northern Virginia Piedmont region through a fantastic display of authentic artifacts and documents. You'll spend hours learning about your new home.

Old Dominion Speedway
From Legal Street Racing to NASCAR Races
Warm Virginia nights spent watching the races. It's one of my favorite things to do. It's great fun to go hang out and watch fast cars. My husband grew up 30 miles west of Daytonna, in the late 1950's. He loved to watch them race in the sand. Whenever we are in the Manassas area, we try and see a race. You'll love having this so close to your home.
