Brentsville Courthouse - Part Of The Prince William County Fabric Since 1822

Prince William County Flag


In 1820 it only took 50 acres to establish Brentsville and make it the county seat of Prince William County. As residents moved farther west to work new farmland the existing county seat at Dumfries was too far east to serve them easily. Brentsville was a logical choice since it was centrally located along the major east/west road that went as far as the Shenandoah Valley. When the county seat moved to Manassas in 1893 Brentsville was able to maintain its' 19th century rural trappings.

In 18th and early 19th century rural Virginia the courthouse was the dominant power in county government. Today, the Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre covers 28 acres along Bristow Road and includes five buildings and numerous archaeological sites. A visit to the beautifully maintained site will provide both an educational and relaxing way to spend a day learning about the early history of Prince William County.Brentsville Union Church and other Prince William County historic sites, including 1747 Rippon Lodge in Woodbridge can be rented to host meetings, weddings, lawn parties, etc - information can be found at Make Your Next Event Historical
