Falls Church Open House: Ties To Founding Fathers

FALLS CHURCH, VA—History buffs won't want to miss the chance to see an incredible 1770 Falls Church estate with connections to the Founding Fathers.

James Wren is well known in Falls Church history for designing the church that gave the independent city its name. But he's also had some ties with our nation's key leaders.
