When Manassas comes up in conversation most people think of its famous Civil War battlefield. But homebuyers who choose to locate in this storied enclave can get small town charm and more for their money in a city anchored by an increasingly popular Old Town historic district. The Old Town neighborhood boasts the Manassas Museum, which draws many of those coming to visit Manassas National Battlefield Park. The museum focuses on the civilian story of the war, said Roxana Adams, museum curator and deputy director, conveying “what happened to the families, the property owners, and the people who lived here.”

A charming collection of shops has now sprouted up around the museum creating “a downtown core that creates a small town feeling that people are looking for,” Adams said.
