Freeman Store and Museum

The Freeman House Store, formerly the Lydecker Store, is located in the Town of Vienna in Fairfax County, Virginia. The house lies in Northern Virginia near the District of Columbia. Built in 1859 for Abram Lydecker, both Confederate and Union Army troops occupied the house during the American Civil War. The house has been restored in accordance with historical records. Civil War paraphernalia are sold in a restored general store on the first floor of the house. A museum on the second floor of the house displays Civil War artifacts.

The Freeman House Store and Museum is located in the town of Vienna in Fairfax County, Virginia on Church Street. The house takes up approximately 0.83 acres , while the entire property took up six acres when Abram Lydecker purchased it. As the house is less than twenty miles from Washington, D.C., its location was important during the Civil War. The Alexandria, Loudoun & Hampshire Railroad constructed a line through Vienna, creating large growth for the town and Lydecker's business. The Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Trail now travels along the railroad's route, south of the house.
