My husband and I love to do escape rooms when we get a chance to go on a date. Rush Hour has an awesome variety of fun and challenging rooms and also some seasonal family-oriented ones that are appropriate for school-aged children. Our kids loved the Pumpkin Patch and Christmas ones. My husband and I have done many of the adult ones but our favorites were the Blackbeard pirate themed one and The Lucky Duck Speakeasy. Great atmosphere, clean festive rooms, nice employees and military discount available.

Federal soldiers who died in the Civil War are buried here.
It was a very sobering place to visit. Realizing all of the lives that were lost at this battle. Sits high on a hill. A must see when in this area!

We toured the battlefield with Hallowed Ground Tours - we were several cars - and the very personable guide rode in the front car and we listened via cell phones. The battle and troop positions covered a fair bit of ground - more than is easily walked. The tour was great - and includes a nearby plantation now owned by the NPS - and equally worth seeing. The Visitor's Center is another must -

While not serving food or drink since 1827, the Rising Sun Tavern Museum provides a lively interpretation of late 18th-century Tavern life. Charles Washington, George Washington's youngest brother, built this landmark in the 1760's as his private residence. After being sold outside the Washington family, the building was leased as a tavern in 1792. Operating as a stopover for travelers for 35 years in the bustling town of Fredericksburg, it was a popular diversion for travelers and locals alike. Today, costumed guides entertain visitors as though they have just stepped off their coaches into the late 18th-century life. See how bygone visitors slept, learn what they ate and drank, and immerse yourself in the now eccentric customs of historic travel and lodgings. The original 18th-century structure contains period furniture and artifacts.
