Summary

The town of Occoquan in Virginia is a suburb of Washington, D.C. and was established over 250 years ago. This is a town full of historic and colorful buildings that started as a trading post. The mill town has today become an artist enclave that hosts two large annual arts and crafts festivals and a few ghosts. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Occoquan! The Moment in Oddity features 3D printed food and This Month in History features artist Raffaello Santi. Our location was suggested by Cecil H.
