Things To Do
Coffee, Cafes, and Breakfast
There are ample places for a great breakfast in Fredericksburg! Check out the Mason-Dixon Cafe or Fork~N~Biscuit for a huge southern breakfast, Hyperion Espresso for a great cup of coffee, or Curitiba Art Cafe for a great sandwich.
Places to Eat
We have loved every meal in Fredericksburg. Try FOODE for a farm-to-table meal in a historic bank, Orofino for great Italian food, the Alpine Chef for German cuisine (and Rachel-approved mashed potatoes) in an old train station, or Benny Vitali's for a slice of pizza (even bigger than a NY slice)!
Ice Cream
Carl's Frozen Custard - Rachel's favorite! Abner B's Ice Cream - Molly's favorite!
Grab a Drink
Red Dragon Brewery for beer A. Smith Bowman for bourbon & a tour! Rebellion Bourbon Bar for bourbon & food Wild Hare for Cider Haley's Honey Meadery for Mead Colonial Tavern or J. Brian's for an Irish Pub
Antiques and Shops
There are dozens of quaint antique shops up and down Caroline Street! Also, check out Riverby Books, an astonishingly cute bookstore.
Hikes and History
Fredericksburg has a lot of history - you can check out George Washington's boyhood home, the Mary Washington House, Chatham Manor, or the Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park. There are also ample places to get outside and go for a hike!
