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.

Welcome to the Barony of Ponte Alto!

Their Excellencies of Ponte Alto, Baron James and Baroness Katharine, welcome you!

News and Announcements

Sunday Indoor Heavy Weapon Practice/A&S/Social

The last indoor Sunday practice for the season will be February 7, 2010.

Room Change for January 2010 Business Meeting

Due to a room conflict at St Paul's we will not be using either of our usual rooms in the Education Building. Instead we will be using the undercroft/basement in the Church building. Signs will be posted and there are sets of stairs outside on either side of the church facing the parking lot.

Parking at Archery Practice

To all attending archery practice, please be aware that the parking area between the house and the dumpster is reserved for the people living in the house.

Parking for those attending practice is next to the small doggy pen. Once that fills we are asked to park in the grassy space inside the circle. If that is full too, you need to go to the head in parking across from the dog gate.

Questions? Email the Stierbach Archery Marshal (ndcsive AT cox.net).

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!
