A Brief History of the Fairfax Hunt Club
The Historical FAIRFAX HUNT CLUB was founded by A. Smith Bowman in 1928 on the same land that George Washington rode to hounds. Part of the present clubhouse has a charming history. A 200 year old log house was uncovered beneath a clapboard farmhouse on Beulah Road in Vienna, Virginia. It was carefully dismantled and numbered log by log (the numbers are still visible) and rebuilt on its current location where it is the nucleus of the present facility. A kitchen, restrooms and air conditioning were added later in the 70’s.
The FAIRFAX HUNT CLUB still uses this site for hunt breakfasts and other social gatherings. It’s members are still proudly carrying on the centuries old hunting tradition today.
