Fredericksburg, VA
Boats for Sale

An ideal spot for a history vacation, Fredericksburg, VA, sits on the falls of the Rappahannock River. For Virginia Indians, the falls were a favorite fishing and hunting grounds. To early settlers, the fall line was the colony's first frontier. And for generations to follow, the river brought both prosperity and conflict.
