Historic Blenheim
Historic Blenheim, located at 3610 Blenheim Boulevard, Fairfax, VA 22030, is one of three public historic sites stewarded by the City of Fairfax — alongside the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center and the Ratcliffe-Allison-Poser House.
It serves as an active venue for city events, programs, and meetings. In February 2025, a HisTree Day event was announced for April at the site, which ultimately took place on a Saturday combining historical programming with Earth Day and Arbor Day activities. In May 2025, the site hosted a cemetery preservation program (May 17) as part of National Preservation Month, themed "Preserve the Past, Protect the Future." As of January 2026, a new Mini Art Machine was purchased for permanent installation at Historic Blenheim as part of a Parks Foundation initiative.
The site has also served as a scheduled meeting venue, including for the September 2026 HHCAB regular meeting, and hosted an extreme night egg hunt in early April 2026.
