The past and present walk together in Fredericksburg. Stroll the quaint, walkable streets lined with cozy restaurants and shops. If history is your interest, you'll find that some of America's most important historical sites surround you.

George Washington spent much of his youth at Ferry Farm. Thomas Jefferson wrote one of his most important documents, the Statute for Religious Freedom, while staying here. President James Monroe was a young lawyer in Fredericksburg.

The Civil War is also a part of the rich heritage here. In some of the war's most intense and crucial engagements at Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania Court House and The Wilderness, armies fought to decide the course of a nation. Follow the route of Grant's Overland Campaign.
