Fredericksburg Virginia is not a very big place. It is midway between Richmond Virginia (50 miles to the south) and Washington DC (50 miles to the north) and sits astride Interstate 95. Many people come here to visit the Civil War battlefields that are located within a 15 mile radius of Fredericksburg. In addition to the Fredericksburg National Military Park (administered by the National Park Service), there are parks in Spotsylvania Courthouse, Chancellorsville, and the Wilderness. Thousands of visitors are drawn to those parks annually.
Others come just to see what Historic Fredericksburg is all about. One of the things I find interesting about the town in which I live, is the great architecture found in the historic homes. If you ask someone who lives in Fredericksburg this question "Where are the nice old homes in town?", the answer will probably be "Lower Caroline Street."
One day earlier in the week, I ventured down to Caroline Street in an attempt to capture some pictures indicative of the homes on one of the City's most photographed streets. Here is the result:
That is just a small sample of the homes found on Caroline Street in Fredericksburg's Historic District. Which one is your favorite? If you are interested in other aspects of the town in which I live, please visit my website right now.
