Kenmore

    "Third Best Small City in the Country", as named by "Life in America's Small Cities", The Civil War was fought on its streets but the City has many historical roots that go back to the beginnings of the country. George Washington's mother lived in Fredericksburg and James Monroe located his law practice here. During the American Civil War, the Fredericksburg region, strategically located between Washington and Richmond, was the scene of fierce fighting. The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought here in December 1862, and the battles of Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Courthouse occurred nearby. Parts of these major battlefields are now in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. The city is named for Frederick Louis, prince of Wales, father of George III of Great Britain.
      The forty block National Register Historic District includes not only many historic attractions and restored private homes, but also antique shops, fine restaurants, galleries and boutiques. The City is located  on the Rappahannock River which offers many recreational possibilities. The yearly events calendar is filled with festivals, celebrations, theatre, tours, and concerts and art exhibits at Mary Washington College. The new Mary Washington Hospital Medicorp is a high tech, dynamic medical facility that provides the community with state-of-the-art health care.
