Brentsville Day
11 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Admission is FREE; tickets strongly suggested for capacity may fill. Donations welcome.
As the 4th seat of Prince William County from 1822-1893, Brentsville was a bustling community full of business, agriculture, trades, and more.
Every month during court days hundreds and even thousands would come to the courthouse to socialize, conduct business, purchase supplies and be entertained.
Join us for a fun afternoon to experience the hustle and bustle of Court Day. Activities will include mock trials, bluegrass music, historic tradespeople and medicine shows, markets, food, demonstrations, displays, and more.
