"Few places in Virginia offer the diversity of history that you'll find in Fredericksburg. Not only was it where George Washington spent large parts of his boyhood; it is rich in Native American history, Revolutionary War history, Civil War history (including 5 major battle sites), African American history, and more. Visit the Fredericksburg Museum and Cultural Center, take trolley tours, see the James Monroe Museum or stop by Hugh Mercer’s pre-Revolutionary War Apothecary Shop…just to name a few of the attraction available.

In 1888 a photographer mounted the steeple of St. George’s Episcopal Church on Princess Anne Street and took a series of eleven panoramic images of Fredericksburg, spanning the compass. The panorama isn’t perfect–there are gaps–but it is as thorough a documentation of any Virginia town as exists from that period.
