Step back in time and explore one of the oldest homes in Fairfax County during the annual Historic Oak Hill Open House on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Built in 1790 by Richard Fitzhugh, a descendant of one of the first land-grant holders in Northern Virginia, Oak Hill reflects the county’s deep historic roots. Originally constructed in the late Georgian style, the home was renovated in the 1940s in the Colonial Revival style by noted restoration architect Walter M. Macomber.

In 2004, Seville Homes, the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust, the Fairfax County Park Authority and the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors partnered to preserve Oak Hill through a historic and conservation easement, which also protects its centuries-old boxwoods.
