Built astride the Rappahannock River and 49 miles south of Washington, DC, the city of Fredericksburg is known as “America’s Most Historic City”. During the Civil War, because it was positioned halfway between the capitals of both the Union and Confederat e forces, Fredericksburg was the unlucky theatre for two pitched battles fought over the territory. Fredericksburg was also the former stomping grounds of George Washington, whose family lived on Ferry Farm , just across the river from Fredericksburg. The cozy population of 28,000 feels just right for many seniors considering Fredericksburg assisted living communities.
