Mosby's Tavern
 
For the sake of its name alone, you might want to try out Mosby's Tavern, the less expensive/informal restaurant behind the Red Fox and under the same ownership. Don't look for "period" food however -- this is a beer and burgers sort of place

Lorman Chancellor House
 
Lorman Chancellor was mayor of Middleburg and host to John Mosby for a meal on March 8, 1863, the day Mosby left for Fairfax Court House. Mosby was seeking revenge against Union Col. Percy Wyndham, who called Mosby "a bushwacker and horse thief." Before leaving, Mosby said to Col. Chancellor, "Tonight I shall mount the stars or sink lower than the plummet ever sounded." Col. Wyndham was away in Washington, but Mosby came out with 29 Union captives, including General Edwin Stoughton. Not a shot was fired, despite the small Rebel band being in the center of 8,000 Union troops
