"The Mother Church of Northern Virginia," Pohick was the first permanent church in the colony to be established north of the Occoquan River, sometime prior to 1724. Originally called "the Occoquan Church," it was soon referred
to as "Pohick Church" because of its proximity to Pohick Creek. In 1732, the Virginia General Assembly established Truro Parish, defining it as all the lands in the colony above the Occo-quan River, extending to the western frontier. As the only church within these boundaries, Pohick became the Parish Church of the newly formed district. Through the Revolution, War
of 1812, and War Between the States, Pohick has suffered loss but has recovered. Today, it stands as an example of colonial architecture, the work of James Wren, and the determination of its congregation over nearly 300 years.

All are welcome, reservations not required.

Meet at the South entrance, opposite the Parish House.
