A $7 million new museum is coming to Prince William County.

Slated to be built on the site of Rippon Lodge at 15520 Blackburn Road in Woodbridge, the Prince William Museum at Rippon Lodge is meant to be a way for residents to learn more about the history of their community.

“Prince William County is very unique in that we believe our history is important – although there are many communities that do – but we’ve actually invested in our history, and we have a number of historic properties that are owned by the county,” said Prince William Historic Preservation Foundation board member Laurie Wieder.
