Bull Run Castle
Bull Run Castle
Proving once again that one man’s pile of trash pile is another man’s castle is Bull Run Castle in Aldie, Virginia. Built by John R. Miller from bits and pieces of scrap he procured for the task, the castle is a real fortress designed to withstand the inevitable Armageddon that’ll certainly take down civilization soon. Inside, John has (or more correctly, “had” since the castle has been sold) an armory, supplies to last until the inevitable looting dies down, strong defenses and secret passages.
In addition to the castle, people can visit the antique store inside. Better yet, why not spend the night? The castle is also a B&B so when the “big one drops” you can be safe and cozy inside. At least until you’re kicked out into the marauding hoards!

John! Happy to hear you are still alive! Name is Brendan, used to bring people for the tour all the time. Recently bought a house on Bull Run Mountain, I doubt the now owners know that there will be many showing up in the case of… awfulness. Love you, stay strong, and I praise god and go to church, thanks to you.
