A state park that consists of rivefront beaches, hiking trails, and boat rentals over 1,300 acres.
Spent a lovely 5 August days at Westmoreland State Park. The housekeeping cabins are clean and cozy. The beaches are lovely, we found a few shark teeth at Fossil Beach. We hiked all the trails, rented kayaks, swam in the river. The park was not crowded. Masks were required in the visitor center and camp store. We saw plenty of wildlife on our walks - including deer, osprey, eagles, snakes, turtles and bats. Staying in the cabins was very relaxing. We brought cleaning supplies and paper towels - along with linens and food. The kitchen was stocked with dishes and basic cooking utensils. We didn't need anything that want provided to make our meals. The cabin was equipped with a decent AC - though a little loud at night. Park provides each cabin with one bundle og firewood. Additional bundles can be purchased.

A National Monument is the site where four generations of Washingtons lived.
Very much enjoyed visiting Pope's Creek, the birthplace of George Washington, and site of a rebuilt farm plantation meant to reflect what was there at the time. Beautiful grounds, and easy walking. Enthusiastic and informative staff, especially "Ranger Bill", who had what appeared to be encyclopedic knowledge of the Washington family, the times, and the plantation, and was a wonderful storyteller. Well worth a visit!

First time to this brewery. Dont know if they have sitting inside bc the day we were there, it was beautiful weather and we took advantage of the outdoor seating. They had so many of their brews to choose from that we opted for the flights which consisted of 4 4oz beers of your choice. My fav was the sunken sailboat but we got to try 8 different ones and we liked them all. Highly recommend for an afternoon or evening hang out with each other or friends.

We took multiple trips to this beach area. It was so clean and everyone was respecting everyone's space. This was during the pandemic.

It's easy to drive right past the historical markers at 55 mph. But, if you slow down and turn into the drive, you'll find a well kept property steeped in history. The museum and visitor's center is small but well designed and handicapped accessible. My husband was able easily enter and move about the museum while on his mobility scooter. He also loved the collection of historical artifacts -- especially the china. The docent was well informed and enjoyed spending time talking with us about colonial American history. It was an afternoon well spent.
