Historic Barnes House in Dumfries, VA, is a significant landmark that tells the story of Eppa and Amanda Barnes, ex-slaves who purchased the home from their former master's heirs after the Civil War. The home, originally built in the late 1700s, was lovingly maintained by the Barnes family for generations until the 1960s.
Located at the Montclair Community Library, the restoration of the Barnes House is a testament to the resilience and history of African-American families in Prince William County. Visitors can explore the rich heritage of the Barnes family and learn about their legacy in the local community.
