One of my favorite “date” activities is driving through the beautiful countryside to cute little towns with views so husband took me to this place as a Valentine’s Day treat. And what a treat it was! We had brunch and every bite was spectacular. Truly. I am still fantasizing about the dill biscuit and the chicken liver mouse with seed crackers. The dining room in this novel greenhouse like structure with a lovely view of the potomac. It’s both farmy and sophisticated and it’s delicious real food that even excellent home cooks are not likely to be able to cook at home. The beignets were amazing as well. My main course of tempura fish was great too but the highlife items items were exceptional and memorable. A very special place for an outing and we will be back for sure in warmer weather. As an added bonus, the bill was quite reasonable.

Highly recommended for people on their way to Middleburg or other nearby areas.
How totally awesomely cool is it to see corn ground to meal through the workings of a water wheel? You get just that, and a lot more, at the Aldie Mill. The entire operations is exceptionally well preserved, and the mill is in full working order, right down to running the internal grain elevators. The staff is highly knowledgeable and very outgoing; they even stayed over a little later as we showed up right before closing time. They explained everything in full details, and were happy to take all of my super-nerd questions about the workings of the mill. There's even a resident snake, and apparently a few snake-babies, that come out to sun themselves on the millrace rocks, although we didn't get to see them on our visit. Parking is ample, and even a little shaded. There is no cost for admission, but they are happy to receive a donation to help keep this outstanding attraction preserved and open.

George C. Marshall's Dodona Manor is situated on 3.8 acres of gardens on the eastern end of Leesburg's Old and Historic District. The site is designated a National Historic Landmark as the residence of General George C. Marshall from 1941 until 1959. During his residency in the home, General Marshall served our nation as Chief of Staff of the Army, as Special Envoy to China, as Secretary of State, as President of the American Red Cross, and as Secretary of Defense. His career as a military officer spanned 44 years, including distinguished service in two world wars. General Marshall was the architect of the European Recovery Plan (The Marshall Plan), and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. General Marshall was described as the "Greatest American of the twentieth century" by both Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. More than 90 percent of the items in the house belonged to the Marshalls when they lived here in the 1950s.
This house is filled with the actual personal belongings of General Marshall and his family, as well as memorabilia from his accomplishments on the world stage. This gives the tours a deeper connection to visitors which is truly inspiring. The docents are well informed, dedicated to the museum, and share fascinating details of Marshall's personal life (including that of his wife). A wonderful experience which brings history to life.
