The Freeman House on Church Street
The historic Freeman House is located on Church Street in Vienna. It is really the unofficial center of town and its active lifestyle, as on one side is the Vienna Town Green, a weekend farmers market, the W&OD Bike Trail (you can walk or run too), an organic bakery, Bazin’s on Church Restaurant, Clarity, great pizza at Church Street Pizza, Bikes@Vienna, Caffe Amouri, Cocoa Vienna, Caboose Brewery and much more.
Charming brick sidewalks and a really nice spot for a dozen events through-out the year.
The Town of Vienna, Virginia is where I have lived for the past 20-something years (time flies). One of this blog’s categories is Living Here, and when I stumble across something interesting that may be off the typical radar, I will write a blog post.
