Chatham Manor

"I'm excited to come back in the spring when the gardens are in bloom. What an exquisite view of Fredericksburg and so much history packed into this home. Park ranger was very friendly and I wouldn't mind coming back just to spend time enjoying the view and gardens."

"I wanted to check off a box on the want to go places list, and I will be back. If you like history and gardens with a river view, you'll enjoy this little local gem. Ask the ranger to watch the video!"

"Chatham Manor is one of the most beautiful scenic places in Fredericksburg. The house and grounds are lovely and well kept, and the view of the city is completely unmatched. I first came here for a drawing class to walk the grounds and sketch different sculptures and scenes for Germanna many years ago. More recently, I brought my nieces and nephew here with cameras to capture the gorgeous Ginkgo tree in all it's bright yellow glory against the beautiful backdrop of the city of Fredericksburg. Gorgeous place for a stroll in the woods, a visit to the gardens, or family photos under a beautiful historic tree."

"Lovely gardens, even in the dog days of summer. The historic residence is formidable and the museum reveals an interesting history."

"Place is a very nice historical site with great gardens to walk through and see different sculptures. House has the bottom floor open for self guided tour of displays with information on the room and/or owners. Go on a nice weather day so you can enjoy the gardens."
