A history lovers paradise, Stafford, Virginia is famous as the boyhood home of George Washington. Visitors often come here to visit the Ferry farm where our first president chopped down that infamous cherry tree. The locals take pride in preserving the farm as well as the Stafford Civil War Park on Mt. Hope Church Road.

A must-see archaeological site in Stafford is the Rappahannock River where Washington threw his celebrated stone. (Legend mistakenly lists the Potomac River, which is far too wide.)

Stafford’s location along the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers gives visitors and locals plenty of recreational opportunities. You’ll often find people out fishing, canoeing, and kayaking along the rivers. Golfers love the challenging courses of Augustine, Cannon Ridge, and The Gauntlet. Hikers love the serenity and beautiful trails at Stafford Civil War Park. It’s easy to spot deer and other wildlife among the stone bridge ruins.

Aquia Landing Park is another popular hangout. It’s a great place to sit on the beach, swim, fish or canoe. The park also offers woods and wetlands for hikers and a fascinating past for history buffs. It was the first place to see naval fire during the Civil War and an important stop on the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom for some 10,000 escaping slaves.

Stafford is also home to the Crows Nest Natural Area Preserve where you can fish, canoe and kayak while watching eagles and other migrating birds. Another hidden gem is Chichester Park with baseball and softball fields, barbecue pits and a playground.

The Potomac Point Winery & Vineyard offers a tasty weekend brunch and wine tasting classes during the week. It’s also a great wedding venue!
