Fredericksburg National Battlefield Park. We go there all the time (not that sucky visitor's center -- we go see the cannons and battlefield itself).

On a recent trip Fredericksburg, I took a friend to the stonewall jackson memorial off exit 118. The tour guides give a very interesting story of the events leading to his death. It is a very peaceful spot.

Cool, Rick. Maybe at some point when this storm coverage goes away I'll stop over and do a video.

Sunken Rd. Love the old stone wall, Innis House and battlefield history there. Also the Old Stone Warehouse!! (free admission!) Don't miss the canonball scars in the floor and walls! The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable, and I enjoy the old pictures, and the artifacts that you can touch and hold. Plus, it's on the river, so you can walk out to it from the back door, or walk across the bridge beside. I love this building because you can learn raw history, without having the stuffy museum feel. My guests have enjoyed it as well.
