Fredericksburg, VA 22401
Here, the boy George Washington grew to manhood (from 1738-1752, ages 6-19) and here is the setting of the stories of the cherry tree and of the silver dollar (really a stone) thrown across the Rappahannock River. Here, too, was an important part of the Union lines during the Battle of Fredericksburg. Archaeologists recently recovered the remains of the Washington's house. A National Historic Landmark, Ferry Farm includes a visitor center with exhibits and a self-guiding walking tour of the property.
