  • Very worth while for history buffs. Visit the battlefield with informative US Parks tour guide. We went on Tuesday and bought a ticket for sites that were closed so be aware. Outdoor dining allowed.....  more

  • First and greatest real plantation house in Fredericksburg. Some very fine plaster ceilings. No pictures allowed inside. Informed tour guide gave great information about the place. I really do wish they would allow access to the second floor and pictures without flash.
  • Kenmore Plantation is an absolutely beautiful Georgian manor that was built from 1770 to 1775. It was built by Colonel Fielding Lewis and George Washington's sister, Betty. Original size of the plantation was 1300 acres, it is now 3 acres. There are many beautiful original furnishings and paintings in the house. We all found that the huge attraction of Kenmore are the incredible plaster ceilings, the most beautiful of any historical manor we have seen in Virginia! The detail and artistry have to be seen! They were all hand made by a very talented indentured servant without a formal name on record. The tour is of the bottom floor only, masks still required here and no inside photos are allowed. Also, the gardens are very nice!!
