The Fredericksburg center point is about the area of Us Government Marine Corps and the area of Mary Washington College.

In July and August, temperatures are generally in the upper 80s and low 90s. In the winter, the area enjoys crisp temperatures in the 40s.

We were there for a funeral, the scenery looking for places to eat and on the way to the church, the beautiful Temple Baptist Church on White Oak Road is beautiful enough to be on a post card or calendar.
Fredericksburg is charming -- lots of fun shops (especially if you like "treasure hunting" at antique/thrift shops) and good restaurants. Of course, history abounds -- I loved the trolley tours that focus on all the great history that gives Fredericksburg so much of its character.
I liked the cleanliness and the breakfast.

Great City
Beautiful town with lots of history
While the hotel doesn't have an on-site restaurant it is right off US1 that has multiple fast food places and restaurants. The hotel is in the same shopping center as the Cracker Barrel, which is in walking distance. The Cracker Barrel is a wonderful place to rock in wicker chairs, play barrel chess or admire the garden before or after a hearty meal. A subway and a Chinese restaurant are in the same complex without getting back on US1 or 95. The heart of Fredericksburg is less than 15 miles away. It was very close to the neighborhoods of the families we were visiting.
Excellent choice of restaurants and tour options. Right in the middle of so much Civil War history, it was the perfect location for our group to tour.
We took a trolley tour of Fredericksburg which was interesting learning the highlights of the city. We also went to a dinner theater. The next day we went to DC and toured the Ford theater and some of the memorials. It was nice to be close enough to DC to take a day to tour and come back to Fredericksburg and tour there the next day.
