Historic sites and architectural wonders

Residents and visitors in the Mount Vernon-Springfield area can take advantage of opportunities to see sites that feature Founding Fathers, military history, architectural wonders, the oldest African American community in Fairfax County and more.

The most famous tourist attraction in the region is George Washington’s Mount Vernon, home of the nation’s first president.

In 1754, Washington began living at Mount Vernon, a 3,000-acre estate and a house that likely spanned about 3,500 square feet, according to MountVernon.org. By his death in 1799, his home consisted of about 7,600 acres and an almost 11,000-square-foot mansion.

Today, an estimated 500 acres of this historic property along the banks of the Potomac River have been preserved. In addition to the mansion, visitors can see the estate’s outbuildings, gardens, Washington’s tomb, a slave memorial and a working farm. The museum and education center trace Washington’s life story through exhibits, a 4D Revolutionary War film and the Be Washington Interactive Theater.

Mount Vernon is embarking on a landmark preservation project to safeguard the mansion’s original building fabric and ensure its structural integrity for generations to come. An enclosed work area will be fenced to the north of the mansion for the duration of this project. As work progresses through the house, individual rooms will be taken off display temporarily, and the path of tours through the mansion will change depending on the work that is underway.

The Shops at Mount Vernon also offer unique gifts, reproductions of Mount Vernon treasures, books, toys and more. Visitors can also tour the fully functioning reconstructions of Washington’s gristmill and whiskey distillery, located 2.7 miles from the estate’s main entrance.

Mount Vernon is the most popular historic estate in the country and is open 365 days a year. It welcomes an average of 1 million guests a year. Mount Vernon is owned and maintained by the nonprofit Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association of the Union. It doesn’t accept government funding, relying instead on private contributions.

Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House

Sitting on lands first inhabited by the indigenous Doeg people, Woodlawn mansion, built with enslaved labor and completed in 1805, was the center of a 2,000-acre plantation. The estate was given to Eleanor Parke Custis and her husband, Lawrence Lewis, by her step-grandfather, George Washington.

In 1846, Woodlawn was sold to the TrothGillingham Company, a group of anti-slavery Quakers who wanted to show that slavery was not necessary for the South’s economic and agricultural success. Working with the established free Black community and other local anti-slavery groups, Woodlawn served as an example of free-labor agriculture in a region dependent on enslaved labor.

Since 1949, Woodlawn and the surrounding 126 acres have been operated as a historic house museum, coming under the ownership of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1957.

Also on the property is the Pope-Leighey House, a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Usonian home. Built in Falls Church in 1941 for Loren and Charlotte Pope, the home was sold to Robert and Marjorie Leighey in 1947.

When the home was threatened by the expansion of Interstate 66, Marjorie Leighey, then a widow, campaigned to save the home. She agreed with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to move the house to Woodlawn in 1964, where she lived until her passing in 1983.

Gum Springs Black History Museum

The Gum Springs Museum tells the story of the first AfricanAmerican community in Fairfax County. Gum Springs was founded in 1833 on land given to West Ford by Washington’s family.

Gum Springs became a refuge for runaways and recently freed slaves and has maintained its distinct character. Gum Springs now has more than 2,500 residents, and as many as 500 are descendants of the families who first lived there.

The historical society owns and operates the museum. It was chartered in 1984 to tell the story of the oldest African American community in Fairfax. Its primary purposes are to authenticate the history of Gum Springs by preserving its heritage, culture, artifacts and traditions; to establish Gum Springs as a historic landmark; to create and stimulate

community awareness, appreciation and involvement in preserving culture and history; and to establish the museum to serve as a repository whereby the community may display artifacts that embody the cultural values and worldview of a people.

Local shops offer a variety of unique products

The Mount Vernon-Springfield area is home to retail businesses of varying sizes, all offering unique products to local consumers.

Stores include chain brands that may be familiar to consumers, as well as others that are locally owned. Shopping locally supports these businesses that enrich the region. Of every dollar spent in a local business, 67 cents stays locally to build the community.

Some important local shopping centers include Belle View Shopping Center, Hollin Hall Shopping Center, Brookfield Plaza, Hilltop Shopping Center,

10 | MOUNT VERNON SPRINGFIELD COMMUNITY GUIDE mountvernonspringfield.com
 RETAIL

Kingstowne Towne Center, Mount Vernon Plaza and Springfield Town Center.

The latter is a regional destination for shopping, dining and entertainment. It boasts several retailers, a 12-screen Regal Cinema, a Dave & Buster’s, and an LA Fitness with a swimming pool, sauna and basketball court. Added in 2023 at the mall was a LEGO Discovery Center, a toy-brick-inspired attraction for families.

Belle View Shopping Center is home to many small, unique stores that cater to the local community. One store in this retail center is UnWined.

A woman-owned and -operated business, UnWined was established in 2004. It offers a wine selection from around the globe and covering all price ranges, and its beer, cheese and gourmet departments highlight local and trailblazing artisans.

Proprietor Vanessa Moore and her staff believe buying wine should be inclusive, not intimidating. So they work to bring customers

wines they will love and to extend service that consumers can trust. They also host weekly tastings, emphasize hospitality and ensure the inventory is always growing and changing.

Among the unique stores at Hollin Hall Shopping Center is Urban Redeux. Owner Willow Wright opened the business in fall 2018 and moved to its current location in 2021.

Wright said she always loved vintage goods and antiques, so when the time came for her to throw her hat in the ring, she decided to create a vintage shopping experience different from what anyone else was doing.

The items at Urban Redeux are curated based on what’s happening in the design world, and Wright hopes every piece will be relevant in her clients’ homes. Whether their style is mid-century modern, grandmillenial, boho or contemporary, she aims to offer something

that will fit just so.

Urban Redeux also has been chosen as the best antiques store in the area by the Zebra Press for three years in a row.

Nothing Bundt Cakes, meanwhile, is in Brookfield Plaza. It’s the local franchise representing a brand that now has more than 500 bakeries across the United States and Canada. It offers bundt cakes in a variety of sizes that feature a signature cream cheese frosting.

Founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz started the company in 1997 in their Las Vegas home kitchens, and it has become the nation’s largest specialty cake company. It also was named No. 2 on Yelp’s Most Loved Brands list.

And these enclaves offer proximity to the District of Columbia, Old Town Alexandria and regular commuter routes.

One desirable location is Kingstowne, an urban community of more than 5,300 homes in Alexandria.

Tickle your taste buds

No matter what flavors get your taste buds going, this area can satisfy your craving for food and drink.

Capital Chicken, Bonefish Grill and Fair Winds Brewing Company, along with a wide variety of establishments at Springfield Town Center, are among outstanding restaurants here offering different menus and price points.

Capital Chicken

Peruvian chicken purveyor Capital Chicken was set to open in March at a new location on Richmond Highway in Alexandria. It first opened in December 2016 as “Limon Pollo a la Brasa” in the Mount Vernon Shopping Center and was owned by Carla Alvarado’s father and partners.

Alvarado explained that when her father was 10, he began helping his mother in their chicken restaurant in Lima, Peru, and he brought that knowledge to America. As he got busier and older, though, he put Alvarado in charge of the business, and she eventually took over control from the original owners.

“I went from working a 9-to-5 behind a desk to now standing behind a kitchen counter,” she wrote in a history of the operation. “It was truly the best and hardest decision I had ever made.”

She also got married, and together the couple came up with the new name, “Capital Chicken.” But that wasn’t the only thing Alvarado thought about changing.

For seven years, she made the drive from her Lake Ridge home to Alexandria, passing 8339 Richmond Highway and thinking that the building had so much potential.

Last year, she was able to make her dream a reality, and she began the process of moving the restaurant there. Capital Chicken closed in July and was set to reopen at the new site this spring.

Bonefish Grill

Kingstowne’s Bonefish Grill is part of a chain of seafood restaurants that specialize

in market-fresh fish that are hand-cut in-house every day. The restaurants also feature local wine and beer and signature hand-crafted cocktails.

The chain began in January 2000 in St. Petersburg, Fla., where founders Tim Curci and Chris Parker opened the first Bonefish Grill, prompted by their shared love for catching and cooking fresh fish.

Bonefish is part of Bloomin’ Brands Inc., the company that began in 1988 with Outback Steakhouse. Since then, the operation has expanded to include Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Aussie Grill by Outback.

Fair Winds Brewing Company

The folks at Fair Winds Brewing Company say they built their operation to provide fresh, local craft beer to their neighbors and friends in Fairfax and throughout the state and the District of Columbia, and it’s now the county’s oldest and largest-production brewery.

The idea is that craft beer shouldn’t be onesize-fits-all, but instead should complement a given moment or add to an experience.

All of the company’s beers are veganfriendly and gluten-reduced, and the brewery and accompanying taproom in Lorton hosts regular events and has food trucks on site seven days a week.
