Historic Campus Walking Tour
Saturday, July 12, 2025
5:00 PM 6:00 PM
Curious about all of the seemingly abandoned buildings on the Workhouse campus? Wonder what they were used for when our site was a functioning prison? Wonder no more. Museum Coordinator Jay Loy leads a campus walking tour and explores our history as a prison site. The tour starts and ends at the Lorton Prison Museum, and participants are invited to view the museum’s exhibitions following the tour – which is open for extended hours during Second Saturday Open House & Art Walks.
$10/person ($5/youth 12 and under)
Pay onsite, no registration required.
Meet at Lucy Burns Museum entrance
This is a reoccurring tour scheduled for 5PM every second Saturday of the month and at 10AM the first and third Thursdays of the month. The tour is led at a leisurely pace through our grounds on paved surfaces, totaling a distance of approximately a half mile. Tours happen (light) rain or shine and participants are encouraged to dress appropriately with sturdy, close-toed shoes.
