Attraction

I had to go back, I had first gone there in 2006. I had wondered about this place and knew I should go there.

I often travel with my daughter to historical sites up and down the east coast. It is no accident that I finally came to Fredericksburg, VA. I had planned this trip so many times, then one day I finally just went. I had read in books about Chathom Manor, how the Union Army held up there and how it served as a hospital for the battle in 1862. I had read about how the cries can still be heard at night when all the visitors leave...

I am also a part-time ghost hunter. An adventurous hobby. This Manor is the perfect place for regular history buffs or paranormal enthusiasts. The view from there is beautiful as you look down on the town and on the river below.
