What is downtown like in in Fredericksburg, Virginia?

Someone moving to Fredericksburg should know the area is steeped in American history, from before the American Revolution to present day. This could include some sensitive subjects, as the original slave block was recently removed from a downtown street and moved to a local museum. The area was also the home of George Washington as a boy and a travelling location due to the amazing Rappahannock River.

There’s currently a great deal of construction occurring in Downtown Fredericksburg. This is great, because it means that my city is expanding and creating new opportunities. My family enjoys looking out for the large crane when we go on lovely walks downtown, which we often do in the evening, when we can watch the sunset over the river.
