Dranesville, Virginia is located about 25 miles west of Washington, DC, just minutes from Reston, Sterling, Great Falls, and Herndon. It's a town with a rich history and the site of a battle in the early days of the Civil War. Check out the "Dranesville History" link to find out more about Dranesville's interesting past. The Dranesville United Methodist Church graveyard dates back to at least the early 1800's. The troop has transcribed information from the tombstones in the church's cemetery which may be of interest to those doing genealogical research on the area.
