Historic Fredericksburg

Halfway between the State Capital and the Nation's Capital on the Rappahannock River is one of Virginia's most historic cities. Fredericksburg, once the residence of notable historic families such as Washington and Monroe, has preserved much of its historic charm. Tree lined streets with boutiques and shops, trendy restaurants, and art galleries bring year-around enjoyment to local residents and visitors. Home to University of Mary Washington, three major hospitals, parks and bike paths, Fredericksburg offers a wealth of entertainment, recreation, educational and cultural opportunities.
