Workhouse Arts Center Haunt

Lorton, VA

An outdoor walk-through haunt winding past the historic former prison buildings of the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton.

The old Lorton penitentiary grounds make an unsettling stage for the Workhouse Haunt, where a frightening journey threads between abandoned, historic buildings. A PG gauntlet and free party leave room for families, while the main trail leans into the dark. More than a decade of seasons have made it a Fairfax County fixture.
