Warrenton, VA

Warrenton is a Fauquier County town in Virginia's Piedmont, just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It began as a crossroads where routes between Falmouth, Winchester, Alexandria, and Culpeper met, and that position still shows in its courthouse-town role. The surrounding county's horse culture and steeplechases are part of Warrenton's identity, along with historic streets, shops, and older homes. It feels like a refined Piedmont town, close to Northern Virginia but still rooted in hunt country.
