Historic Attractions

It's hard to walk down the quaint streets of downtown without hearing the voices of our founding fathers. Colonial and Civil War history come alive in Fredericksburg and it's far from stodgy. Visitors to Fredericksburg are treated to a unique glimpse of both our nation's founding, as well as its turmoil during the Civil War.

Each building in its 40-block historic district holds a unique story. Whether you're learning about them from a horse drawn carriage, a trolley or a walking tour, you'll enjoy all that Fredericksburg has to offer. In addition to its historic attractions, you'll love the city's chef-owned restaurants, art galleries, specialty shops and year-round events.
