Fredericksburg is one of those colonial towns that has a lot of significance to early American history, although I did not know that when I showed up at its door. That important information was quickly conveyed to me by my photographic subjects. They highly recommended that I take a self-guided tour of Fredericksburg in my spare time, which I did. There were a number of historic spots where this or that happened. And there were plenty of old relics scattered about. At one point, we even drove past the house George Washington was born in.
