The Middleburg landmark dates back to 1728, when it began as Chinn\u2019s Ordinary, a fieldstone tavern and stopping point along the Ashby Gap route. The property is the oldest surviving structure in Middleburg. It remained a gathering place through the Revolutionary War and Civil War; during the latter, it was occupied at different points by Union and Confederate forces and was associated with figures including J.E.B. Stuart and John S. Mosby.<\/p>\n<p>Its guest list gets interesting in more recent history, too. John F. Kennedy held a press conference at the inn, while Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward are among the notable names who have visited over the years. Today, The Red Fox has 22 rooms, suites, and cottages in the heart of Middleburg, so your history-loving relative can spend the holiday staying somewhere that has been welcoming travelers for nearly 300 years.&nbsp; <em>TFG<\/em> loves this spot for a cozy afternoon that feels a little bit like a trip back in time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Follow @thefairfaxgirl on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thefairfaxgirl\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Instagram <\/span><\/a>+&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thefairfaxgirl\"><span class=\"s2\">TikTok<\/span><\/a> for the latest Northern Virginia updates, and check out our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/events\/\"><span class=\"s2\">events calendar<\/span><\/a>, which has over 100+ events weekly to peruse.
