George Washington's Fredericksburg Foundation Reviews

This home was supposed to be a replica of his home. It appeared extremely modern. Disappointing

Disappointing yet interesting. We went for the Gingerbread house exhibition. This was disappointing. We were expecting a huge display and what we saw...Eh. However, we toured site and the Guide was excellent. There is a recreation of a period home on the site of George Washington's boyhood home and several historical digs. Fabulous. Definately made up for the disappointment of the Gingerbread house exhibition.

The tour was very interesting and informative. It is a replica but they have done an excellent job of recreating what was there and very meticulous to detail

Recently opened so they are still placing items into the home. Archaeologists are on grounds digging for more artifacts. They will answer questions and are very friendly. You can also see the home from Sophia street.

I went with a 1st grade class on a field trip. Very nice experience with lots for the kids to see.

Wonderful place, rich in history. Had a great time visiting with family.

Not much to see. Not original home, just a probable simulation. Very disappointed

It's a little torn up currently due to construction. The entrance wasn't well marked either. The tour guides were very nice. I would give it another two stars if it weren't torn up.

I was very emotional when I walked by this special place shortly before sunrise.

We chose not to pay to go in after learning it was a reconstruction, as the original place was destroyed.

If you want something to do. Great historic place to visit & learn some history along the way. They allow you to pack your own lunch and take it in & eat in their outside tables, I did it for years because I had little ones. Great family mini-fieldtrip for a sunny day. But, just incase they changed their policy about their food. Give them a call & inform yourself before you make a visit with your packed lunch. They also have different events going on all the time.

Really good place to vist and learn and experience what is was like to grow up and get a better understanding of Mr Washington. You get the real story of history, not the urban myths. Great historical site.

Mostly reproductions of buildings. Didn't go on tour with guide though, son I can't speak to that.

Great place to learn about the childhood of George Washington. Spend the time time to take the tour of George Washington s home. It is built on the original location. All the furnishings are hand crafted reproductions using 18th century building practices. You can touch and sit on everything! The film was excellent as is the museum.

Although it's a historical spot that is important to the American fabric and culture..it's expensive to enter and not much really to see or do unless it's some sort of special event taking place there...

The tour is great, grounds are well kept. We learned new information. There are places to sit during the tour as needed.
