Thank you so much for your kind words. The growth of Fredericksburg was something Fielding wanted so as much as we would love to have more of his land, I am sure he would be happy to see his hometown today. Please visit us again!
Some local friends brought us to Kenmore House (home of George Washington's sister) and we really enjoyed the tour. There were only about 8 in our group and we had an excellent guide who really loved her job. The kitchen was full of period equipment...More
