Claude Moore Colonial Farm, originally Turkey Run Farm, was a U.S. park in Virginia recreating and reenacting life on a tenant farm c. 1771. The park permanently closed on December 21, 2018.Wikipedia
Established:
1973
Location:
6310 Georgetown Pike, McLean, Virginia
Type:
Living museum
I went there before it closed. They had a used bookstore run by a nice guy. He was sad it was closing and said the lease was running out and that the CIA/George Bush Intelligence center wouldn't renew because they thought the proximity made it a security risk. Visiting was weird because if you took the wrong turn, you pulled into a CIA driveway. The guy said if you made that turn accidentally you'd get detained for 4-5 hours for questioning, etc.
Thanks. I've been shielding myself from the really bad stuff. This was a moderately safe way to start. I'll leave it alone for a while, and pray for arrests and safety.
