March 9, 2022 Rebbecca Marino

Join the local ghosts in a walk through the historic district of Fredericksburg, Virginia, a city that claims to be one of the most haunted locales in the United States. With a long history dating back to pre-Colonial times, and a legacy of slavery and war, it is no wonder that so many unhappy phantoms wander the streets. Visit the Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park, marking the spot of four bloody Civil War battles or Ferry Farm, the boyhood home of George Washington.

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.

Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park

Reviewed By saramatthews

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 -

The Rising Sun Tavern

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.
