Greenway Court

The property includes a brick farmhouse from 1828, a limestone land office from 1762, and an eighteenth-century timber smokehouse on five acres of land.

Thomas Fairfax, the sixth Lord Fairfax of Cameron, established this estate in 1747 as the center of his Northern Neck Proprietary land holdings.

The estate employed George Washington as a surveyor and later became the subject of a short story by American author Willa Cather in 1896.

The buildings stand along a private drive on White Post Road, south of White Post village, and maintain National Historic Landmark status since 1960.

This location served as the only permanent North American residence of a British colonial proprietor who held nobility status during the colonial period.
