Fredericksburg: Four Civil War Battlefields on the Rappahannock
Fredericksburg sits on the Rappahannock River about halfway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond. The city was founded in 1728 and became a major river port during the colonial and early federal periods. George Washington spent his boyhood at Ferry Farm across the river, and his mother Mary Ball Washington lived her final years in a house on Charles Street that remains a museum. James Monroe practiced law in Fredericksburg before his presidential career.
The Fredericksburg area contains four major Civil War battlefields preserved within Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park: Fredericksburg (December 1862), Chancellorsville (May 1863), the Wilderness (May 1864), and Spotsylvania Court House (May 1864). Together these engagements account for more than 100,000 casualties. The Sunken Road and Marye's Heights, where Confederate defenders repulsed repeated Union assaults at the Battle of Fredericksburg, remain visible on the western edge of downtown.
The historic downtown along Caroline, William, and Sophia Streets retains dozens of 18th- and early 19th-century buildings. The University of Mary Washington, a public liberal arts university founded in 1908, sits on the northern edge of the city. Mary Washington Hospital is a major employer, and substantial VRE commuter ridership flows north from the Fredericksburg station to Washington each weekday.
