Built by Charles Washington in 1760 as his home, this building was later operated as a tavern, the only "proper" tavern in the bustling port city of Fredericksburg. The "tavern wenches" and male indentured servants at the Rising Sun Tavern today entertain visitors as though they have just stepped off a stagecoach in a lively interpretation of 18th-century tavern life. Adult admission, $5; age 6-18, $2. Group rates available. March 1-Oct. 31: Monday-Saturday, 10am-5pm; Sunday, 12am-45pm. November 1-February 28: Monday-Saturday, 11am-4pm; Sunday, noon-4pm. Closed January 1, Thanksgiving, December 24, 25, and 31. Please allow 45 minutes for your visit.
