Fredericksburg (Virginia) Halal Travel Guide

Fredericksburg was founded in colonial perioid as a "port city" on the Rappahannock River—the fifth longest river in Virginia. At the time, it was at the farthest point navigable by large ships trading goods with the Old World. Although the city became a key trading center for the plantation owners and farmers nearby, it never achieved the level of commerce enjoyed by Richmond and Alexandria.

The city was contested during the American Civil War, changing hands numerous times between Union and Confederate forces. The most famous battle in Fredericksburg saw Union General Burnside repeatedly march thousands of his troops across the Rappahannock River and up Marye's Heights to their doom.

In recent years, Fredericksburg's population and surrounding communities have boomed as housing costs closer to Washington, DC forced commuters to seek neighborhoods farther out. Many living in Fredericksburg drive up to two hours or catch the VRE commuter rail to work in DC. Fredericksburg is also a popular home for military families employed by the nearby Quantico Marine and Dahlgren Naval bases.

The downtown area has experienced a revival since the 1970s allowing a strong arts community to thrive. Galleries, music venues, and fine dining can all be found in the historic neighborhood. While the city has seen massive growth and the downtown area and battlefields have been well preserved due to strong local commitment to historic preservation, providing a unique blend of old and new culture.

Travel to Fredericksburg (Virginia)

Travel by train to Fredericksburg (Virginia)

One Amtrak train station serves Fredericksburg at Caroline St. and Lafayette Blvd., which is a stop for Amtrak's Carolinian and Piedmont and Regional trains.

The Virginia Railway Express runs commuter trains between Fredericksburg's Amtrak station and Union Station in Washington, DC on weekdays from 5:15am to 8:25pm. The trip from DC takes roughly an hour and a half, depending on freight train schedules (the railway is shared with CSX) and track work. A single ticket from Union Station is $8.80 and discounts are offered for Ten Trip, Five Day, and Monthly passes. VRE does not run on Federal holidays but does run special service on Independence Day.

By car

Fredericksburg is about fifty miles south of Washington D.C. located directly on Interstate 95 at exit 130. It is also one hour north of Richmond on Interstate 95.

Travel duration from the north (Washington, DC) will vary due to traffic conditions (avoid rush hour). Between 2:30PM and 7:00PM, typical travel durations to Fredericksburg are from an hour and a half to two and a half hours.Alternative routes include taking either State Highway 28 through Manassas to US Route 17, or by taking US Route 29 through Warrenton to US Route 17. Both routes take about an hour and a half, but the traffic is much more bearable and most of the trip consists of rural driving at full speed.

Another alternative to I-95 South from Fairfax is to take the following route:

ChancellorsvilleBattlefieldModern - Chancellorsville Battlefield

• Fairfax County Parkway to Highway 123
• Highway 123 South to right on Highway 641 (Chapel Rd)
• Highway 641 to left on Highway 610 (Wolf Run Shoals Rd)
• Highway 610 to right on Highway 643 (Henderson Rd)
• Highway 643 to left on Highway 612 (Old Yates Ford Rd)
• Left onto Highway 3000 (Prince William Parkway)
• Right onto Highway 642 (Hoadly Rd)
• Left onto Highway 234 (Dumfries Rd)
• Right onto 619 (Joplin Rd)
• Exit onto I-95 South

This way takes about one and a half hours, but you avoid the stop-and-go traffic from the mixing bowl (I-95/I-495 interchange) all the way to the HOV merge (just south of the Dumfries/Triangle Exit). You also avoid the bottleneck on Highway 123 at Occoquan.Joplin Road is especially fun as the road is very windy and hilly. It runs between Prince William Forest Park and the Quantico Marine base.

Get Around

• Downtown Fredericksburg is a walking city - the sidewalks are wide, inviting, and mostly paved in brick. Many local residents frequent the streets as well as the occasional street musician.
• Biking downtown can be fun, but stay off the sidewalks and be sure to follow the traffic laws.

• Driving is an excellent option. Downtown roads are largely straightforward aside from some non-standard intersections and one-way streets; outside the city numerous signs point to places of interest and major through ways. If feasible, avoid driving during rush hour as traffic is intolerable, especially on I-95, US-1, US-3, and US-17. There is plenty of free .aspx?nid=744 parking downtown, either on the street or in the many public lots ( PDF map).

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Fredericksburg (Virginia)

• Canoeing or Kayaking on the Rappahannock River. Be aware that the river can be very dangerous if you are not careful. There has been some 70 or so drownings since the early 1960s. It is not unheard of at least one or two drownings to occur along the river each year. Therefore, if you decide to go adventure on the Rappahannock River, be sure to check out the safety information and water levels before you begin your adventure .
• Hiking along the Rappahannock River near Francis Thornton's Mill just off of Riverside Drive on the south bank of the river, upstream of the US-1 bridge. It is also feasible to hike up along the canal to where the old Embrey Dam used to be. There are a network of hiking/biking trails all the way up along the river, well past the I-95 bridge. Beware when hiking through the quarry, that there are "No Trespassing" signs posted. As tempting as it would be on a hot day, do not swim in the quarry, lest you want to run the risk of meeting Frederiskburg's Finest. If merely hiking through the area, it is unlikely you'll be hassled, however. If you hike up the river far enough, you may be able to get a glimpse of some of the old canal locks.
• Golfing at any of the several nearby golf courses, such as Meadow Farms, Cannon Ridge, or Lees Hill.

Central Park

While downtown is far more charming, inviting and local, if you are more into the strip-mall bar scene, Central Park (Route 3 West, just outside of the city) has several places to go hang out, not all of which are totally generic. Yes, Central Park has its fair share of dime-a-dozen joints like TGI Friday's (Please do not support TGI Friday's as TGI Friday's supports Israel. Shun this restaurant group and go for alternative brands and if possible for a Muslim owned restaurant), Applebee's and Ruby Tuesday's; but do yourself a favor and skip them in favor of these places:

• Bailey's | 1861 Carl D Silver Parkway - Somewhat generic strip-mall chain sports bar, which still manages to maintain a decent atmosphere. Good wings.

• Buffalo Wild Wings | 1638 Carl D Silver Parkway - Another place that is quickly becoming ubiquitous as locations open up all over the nation, but like Cheeseburger in Paradise, Fredericksburg had one of the first locations. Very large, massive and excellent flavor list to go on rather mediocre wings, and plenty of affordable booze and televisions playing every sport on at any given moment. Gets particularly packed during football season, mainly for Redskins and Virginia Tech games.

• Cheeseburger in Paradise | 1811 Carl D Silver Parkway ☎ +1 540-548-3092 - An atmosphere that would be much more suited overlooking a beach (or at least the river), rather than this paved over wasteland of strip-malls and the Jimmy Buffet-themed Cheeseburger In Paradise makes up for it with their amazing drink menu. Full of pretty much any tropical drink one could ever imagine, and the food isn't bad either. It is not so special anymore now that there are over 30 locations around the nation, but when it opened it was one of the first and was pretty exciting.

• Q Ball Cafe | 960 Bragg Road in front of Spotsylvania Towne Centre - Opening Hours: 12PM Monday - 2AM Large swimmingpool hall located across Route 3 from Central Park, next to the main entrance of the Spotsylvania Towne Centre (aka "the mall").
