An ideal spot for a historic vacation, Fredericksburg sits on the Rappahannock River's rolling falls. For the indigenous people of Virginia, the falls were a favorite fishing and hunting ground. To the early settlers, the fall line was the Colony's first frontier. For generations to follow, the river brought both prosperity and historic conflict.
Close to D.C. but far from the demands of modern life, picturesque Spotsylvania offers an escape to outdoor activities and rich history. This vast new county was formed in the young colony of Virginia in 1721. Extending far beyond the Blue Ridge Mountains, this frontier outpost was named after Alexander Spotswood, Colonial Governor of Virginia.
Traveling through History in Stafford County may lead to many surprising and impressive discoveries. From the fossilized remains of prehistoric animals along the shores of the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers, to the modern Marine Corps Heritage Center, Stafford's rich history spans every era.
