Bull Run Golf Club , measuring just under 7,000 yards at par 72, is an 18-hole championship golf course featuring wide fairways and bunkers set well back from the greens. Opened in 1998, Bull Run is set on a huge piece of open land in the foothills of Virginia's Bull Run Mountain. We are a quick drive from Washington, D.C., a few miles north of Haymarket, and a few miles south of Middleburg. Where the typical golf course covers an area of around 125 or so acres, Bull Run stretches across more than 450. There is plenty of room here for the flora, fauna, and fish...as well as the golfers. Our renowned architect Rick Jacobson designed this course with the player in mind. From the back tees, the course at Bull Run Golf Club is difficult enough to challenge the best hitters, especially if the greens are set with some tough pin locations. There are also wide fairways here with excellent views of where your next shot is supposed to land and there are often run-up options to greens.

Built in 1808, the front portion of the jail originally contained four cells, each of which was approved to house 40 prisoners. In 1823, after only 15 years of use, the 1808 jail was deemed insufficient and a new stone jail was built just to the rear of the older structure. The 1808 jail was then converted into a house for the jailor with a kitchen made of the leftover stones from the "New Jail" added in 1823. The rear structure contains original cells as well as an exercise yard, which was also used as a hanging yard. Hangings took place in the yard until 1896. This is one of the most perfectly preserved old jails in the Commonwealth, and was operated as a jail until 1966. Today, the Old Jail is a history museum focusing on the histories of the Town of Warrenton, Fauquier County, and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The artifacts that make up the museum's exhibitions have all been donated by generous local citizens.
