The Dranesville Tavern that was located in Dranesville, Virginia dates from 1850. It includes Greek Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The building has been moved from its original location and is now located near Herndon.
It was a "wagon stand" type of tavern, catering to teamsters.
The proposed widening of Route 7 in the mid-1960s threatened the Dranesville Tavern. In 1968, the building was moved 130 feet from its original location to preserve it.
