Chatham Manor, Fredericksburg

What can you say about absolute perfection? There are no words that engulf the amazing array of history at your fingertips! From the beautiful gardens to the statutes to the wealth of knowledge of the local volunteers Chatham Manor is a must see when visiting Fredericksburg! My 9/15 visit included a walk of the grounds, a tour of the gardens and a stroll through of the manor itself. A 10 minute film awaited me that provided a quick summary of prior ownership which demonstrated the majesty of the beginnings of Chatham to the heart wrenching plight of the slaves and Civil War. The grounds have been meticulously maintained and are pristine...I was impressed with the renovations! Thank you for maintaining this historical treasure and know that I will be back to visit!

So beautiful! A lovely oasis full of history. Peaceful location steeped in Virginia history. Visit and you won't be disappointed for a great view of Fredericksburg, photo opportunities, lovely gardens, and an interesting and engaging history lesson.
