Historic Campus Walking Tour

  • Workhouse Arts Center I Lorton Prison Museum, Building W2 9518 Workhouse Way Lorton, VA, 22079 United States (map)

Curious about all of the seemingly abandoned buildings on the Workhouse campus? Wonder what they were used for when our site was a functioning prison? Wonder no more. Museum Coordinator Jay Loy leads a campus walking tour and explores our history as a prison site. The tour starts and ends at the Lorton Prison Museum, and participants are invited to view the museum’s exhibitions following the tour – which is open for extended hours during Second Saturday Open House & Art Walks.

$10/person ($5/youth 12 and under)
Pay onsite, no registration required.

This is a reoccurring tour scheduled for 5PM every second Saturday of the month and at 10AM the first and third Thursdays of the month. The tour is led at a leisurely pace through our grounds on paved surfaces, totaling a distance of approximately a half mile. Tours happen (light) rain or shine and participants are encouraged to dress appropriately with sturdy, close-toed shoes.
