Fairfax | Northern Virginia Neighborhoods

Описание: Explore the rich history and charm of Fairfax City! Learn about the post-Civil War boom in dairy farming that shaped the area, and how highways like Route 50 and Route 29 catered to travelers in the mid-1900s. As the dairy industry faded, suburbia flourished, leading to the creation of Fairfax City in 1961. We also visit Woody's Ice Cream, a beloved family-owned business serving the community for over 25 years. Hear from Danielle Gilbert, who carries on her grandfather Woody Lashley's legacy, as she shares the story behind this iconic spot.
