Formerly a landfill, later a private exotic animal park used by the eccentric owner to entertain his friends. Jack Crippen, the owner of the property (who died in 2006) began accepting refuse from locals in exchange for a fee in the 1970s. At one point, the CIA, located nearby, was paying Crippen to accept trash that consisted of destroyed documents and other items. The farm is the second highest point in Fairfax County, with views of Maryland and the District of Columbia.
