The magnificent City of Fredericksburg is awaiting your arrival. The city boasts a 40-block historical district filled with shops, restaurants, museums, art galleries, cafes, book stores and ice cream parlors nestled in and around buildings dating back to the colonial era. Visit the city that was home to our nation’s first presidential family -- both George Washington’s mother and sister had homes located in what is now the center of the historic district. Experience the Civil War-era and the Battle of Fredericksburg through local battlefields, military cemeteries and monuments – and in the historical books stores, art galleries and antique stores that line the city streets. While at the RRCA convention, enjoy these historical sites during a morning run or while participating in the 2011 Marine Corps Historic Half marathon. Get ready for all that Fredericksburg has to offer!
