The charming town of Warrenton lies in central Fauquier County within
an hour's drive from the world class cultural centers, restaurants and
fashionable retail areas of Washington, D.C. and its suburbs. 

The County Seat, Warrenton remains the county’s shopping and
business center as it has for the last two centuries.  The county’s
rich Civil War history can be felt here in walking the brick sidewalks
of Old Town, or visiting the Liberty Heritage Museum, Old Jail Museum,
the John S. Mosby Museum & Education Center (currently closed for
renovations but scheduled to open in Spring 2008), and the Warrenton
Cemetery where John S. Mosby and over 100 soldiers from the
Civil War are buried.

While experiencing the community’s history, unique shops and
restaurants like The Crescendo Bistro, Molly's Irish Pub & Restaurant, and Iron Bridge Wine Company, can be found within walking distance
of these heritage sites, as well as throughout the town.  The town
hosts a vast array of restaurants from Cuban, Mexican, Thai, French,
Irish, American, Mediterranean, Italian, a Wine Bar and more.

Old Town Warrenton was recently named one of
the Prettiest Painted Places in America by the
Paint Quality Institute.

The story of Remington is one which was repeated in thousands of small America towns as the nation grew around them.  Situated on a scenic natural crossing of the Rappahannock River in southern Fauquier County, between Charlottesville and Manassas, Remington was founded in the early nineteenth century.  The town served as a transportation link on the Rappahannock River Canal and later the Orange and Alexandria Railroad before becoming the commercial hub of southern Fauquier.

During the Civil War, Remington witnessed numerous engagements, including the Battle of Kelly’s Ford, the Raid at Rappahannock Station, and the Battle of Brandy Station – the largest cavalry engagement in America's history. 

While today Remington remains a small town, it offers unique
shops like Remington Drug Store, Remington Variety Building
(for collectibles, art & jewelry), and Morning Moon Alpacas,
and sandwich shops like the Corner Deli and The Farmer’s
Wife Market.
