Fall is Beautiful by filefrog

My aunt lives in Fredericksburg (she works in DC) and we drove out there about 4 years ago in October. While the red clay earth is a bit annoying sometimes (real easy to track in on their lovely new white carpet) the trees were incredibly beautiful. Gold. Red. Orange. Dazzling. The history of the area fascinated us while we were there, so yes, we did all the touristy things.

umw. by kahla

i go to school in somewhat sleepy fredericksburg. the night life is pretty much none, the college runs on it’s own, and it’s hard to get places.

but the people you meet, the small shops downtown, the restaurants, the rappahannock, and every aspect of this town is worth it. it’s where memories are made and dreams are fulfilled.

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Fredericksburg by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Like Alexandria, Richmond, Williamsburg and other early Virginia towns, Fredericksburg is steeped in American history. It came into being in 1728 as a 500-acre frontier settlement on the banks of the Rappahannock River, and its heritage spans colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil War events. George Washington, James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson, and George Mason are among the great men who walked Fredericksburg's cobblestone streets. For Civil War buffs, Fredericksburg is almost a holy shire. Heroes such as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson fought a major battle in town and others nearby at Chancellorsville, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House. Jackson was shot (mistakenly) by his own men at Chancellorsville; his amputated arm is buried at Ellwood Plantation, where the Battle of the Wilderness would be fought a year later. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors come to the battlefields, now part of a national military park. (read article)
