This weekend, experience the War of 1812 at the historic Lanesville House, where re-enactors will perform Saturday afternoon. At Potomac Falls High School, the Loudoun Ballet Company presents their spring performance, "Shades of Beauty," and over at Briar Woods High School, children and Oompa Loompas will entertain from Thursday through Saturday in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

The War of 1812 Comes to Loudoun County

This Saturday, re-enactors from the War of 1812 will fill the historic Lanesville House at Claude Moor Park in Sterling. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the soldiers will demonstrate military and civilian life, and describe how the war affected northern Virginia.

It is speculated that the Lanesville House, which was an "ordinary" (place for travelers to sleep) in the early 1800s – was built during the 1700s.

Tickets to the reenactment are $3 per person. To contact Claude Moor Park, call 571-258-3700.
