Town of Vienna Tours
Our 3-block Walking Tour of Church Street is now available online! It is often assumed that Maple Avenue has always been Vienna’s Main Street, however that honor belongs to Church Street, so named because at one point there were four churches along its full length. Church Street was originally lined with a variety of stores and businesses, much as it is today.
Explore Church Street and learn about the many sites and businesses that came years before the Church Street that we enjoy today. Click here to begin the tour.
