Downtown Fredericksburg is a close-knit community steeped in history and Southern charm. While the surrounding Fredericksburg region is currently experiencing a population expansion and suburban sprawl, downtown Fredericksburg maintains a focus on celebrating its rich history while progressing with the times. More than 350 original 18th- and 19th-century buildings speckle the streets of historic downtown, with over 100 of them filled with locally owned restaurants, specialty and antique shops, galleries and more. The Rappahannock River winds through the intimate city, offering convenient access for a day spent fishing, enjoying a picnic or simply going for a stroll. From historic battlefields and museums, to river adventures and recreational fun, downtown Fredericksburg provides quality living for a variety of lifestyles:
- Easy access to I-95 makes navigating the surrounding regions outside downtown Fredericksburg a simple task.
- Enjoy an afternoon at the Fredericksburg Area Museum and Shop, which is located in an authentic 1816 marketplace.
- Indulge the kids (or yourself!) in a sugary treat at the local favorite Olde Time Lollipops Candy & Fudge Factory, featuring homemade chocolate, candy and lollipops, as well as traditional favorites.
- Enjoy a wine tasting at the Virginia Wine Experience, featuring daily tastings with wines from Virginia and beyond.
- Delight in a delectable night out at the Le Petite Auburge, a local dining favorite, or enjoy an evening libation at the Kenmore Inn, which has been in continuous operation since 1783.
- Take your adventures to the great outdoors and go hiking, fishing or strolling within the many public parks in Fredericksburg, such as City Dock, which dates back to George Washington’s day.
