OUR AREA:

A little about our region of Virginia: Captain John Smith explored here, George Washington grew up here, James Monroe practiced law here, the Founding Fathers met here, this region experienced more casualties and destruction than any other during the Civil War and thousands of slaves escaped to freedom crossing the Rappahannock River here during the Civil War period and that is only the beginning of the exciting and interesting history you will learn when you pay us a visit.

Our history, however, is just the beginning. We have taken that history and have woven into its fabric varied and unique shopping in a national historic district and major shopping centers to indulge your every purchasing desire.

Hungry? We have the favorite chains, but even more exciting, we have some of the finest chef owned local dining that you will find anywhere. Oh yeah, don't forget to try some award winning Virginia Wine from one of our great wineries.

Our world class golf courses, museums, galleries, attractions, entertainment venues, and thousands of acres of parkland and scenic rivers and lakes will leave you wanting to come back for more.
