The Legato School Museum, the last of Fairfax County's one-room schoolhouses, is maintained and operated by FCRE. It's been restored and furnished much as it would have been over 100 years ago. The building is located on the grounds of the old Fairfax County Courthouse on Rt 123 (near Rt 236 - Main St) in central Fairfax City. The schoolhouse is open on certain weekends and holidays, and by appointment. See the FCRE Calendar page for listing of future open days for the museum. (Click on the link at the top of this page.)
