Built in 1825, Historic Huntley was the summer villa of Thomson Francis Mason, a grandson of George Mason, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.
The villa is an excellent example of Federal-style architecture, characterized by its symmetry and classic proportions.
The site includes original outbuildings such as a dairy and an icehouse, which were essential for daily operations during that era.
The Fairfax County Park Authority undertook significant restoration work in the early 2000s to preserve the villa and its surrounding structures.
The villa is situated within Huntley Meadows Park, a 1,500-acre natural area known for its wetlands and diverse wildlife.
The site hosts various programs and tours that educate visitors about its historical significance and the daily life of its past inhabitants.
