Events at Colvin Mill in Great Falls, Virginia

If you have ever headed west on Route 7 in Northern Virginia, you may have seen the historic mill on the right side of the road at Route 7 and Colvin Run Rd.

This mill is the site of many great programs and events--and just a really great place to visit on a pretty afternoon (we took our Christmas Card photo there one year!).

Mondays in May, the park service is running a program for Preschoolers, aptly named, 'Monday Mornings in May.' There are several of these events left and they require pre-registration. The are described;  'Preschoolers and adults enjoy a new story each week, explore the historic site, make a craft, do fingerplays and sing songs.'

If you are interested in registering for the Monday Mornings in May program, or any other program at the Colvin Mill, please check out the Colvin Mill Website.

We are fortunate to have such a wonderful site so close to Herndon and Reston and in Great Falls. I hope you get a chance to enjoy some of the many events scheduled for the summer!

Children's Holiday Shopping at Colvin Run Mill 12/04-12/05/09

The best thing about getting a gift from your child is the delight on their face when you open it. This weekend at Colvin Run Mill in Great Falls, Virginia, take your children to shop for gifts for you, friends and family.

Saturday (12/04/09), the shop will be open from 10-2.
Sunday (12/05/09) the shop will be open from 12-4
Monday  (12/06/09), from 1-4 pm (which is early dismissal day for Fairfax County Elementary Schools)
