Who We Are

The Barony of Ponte Alto is a chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism based in the inner Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC.  Ponte Alto is part of the Kingdom of Atlantia which stretches from Maryland to South Carolina, plus a little bit of Georgia.

What We Do

The Barony works to re-create parts of the Middle Ages through "hands on" activities such as armored combat, fencing, archery, clothing making, embroidery, and music.

Where We Are

The Barony's official territory covers Fairfax County (except for Centreville and Chantilly), Arlington County, and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, and Falls Church, but our activities are open to anyone who is interested.

News and Announcements

Change in Location for Baronial Business Meetings

After much discussion at recent business meetings about finding a meeting place that is handicapped accessible - we are pleased to announced that we have indeed found a location. Starting in May will we be meeting at American Bistro - 10407 Main St. Fairfax, VA 22030. They have a small parking lot right next to their building. Should that lot be full you may park across the street at the National Security, Inc. building. There is also additional public parking in the gravel lot alongside Old Town Hall. This will be our meeting place until further notice.

Additionally, please note: the May business meeting will actually be a week early, on the 19th because of the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend and folks going to Ruby Joust.

To All Heavy Weapons Fighters of Ponte Alto and Its Environs!

A reminder to those to attend marshal activities and practice at Fairfax County Public Schools: Fairfax County Schools do not allow any form of real weapons, even work knives, Swiss Army knives, etc., to be brought onto school property. Please be respectful of this rule so that we may continue having our practices at Lemon Road Elementary School. Thank you!

A&S Gallery

Ponte Alto is working on revitalizing our online gallery of A&S projects, and we are seeking submissions from our local artisans! If you are interested in displaying your work, whether finished or in-progress, send your photographs and descriptions to the MOAS.
