Make the Most of Your Stafford Stay

A foundation in American history

Stafford holds a unique place in the nation's story as George Washington's boyhood home, where he spent his formative years at Ferry Farm learning surveying skills that launched his career. Government Island's quarry provided the Aquia sandstone that built both the U.S. Capitol and the White House—here you can literally touch the foundations of American democracy. Chatham Manor, a Georgian mansion overlooking the Rappahannock River, has welcomed Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Eisenhower, while serving as a Union headquarters during the Civil War.

Strategic location with suburban ease

Positioned 40 miles south of Washington, D.C. along the I-95 corridor, Stafford offers convenient access to the capital while maintaining a quieter pace. The Virginia Railway Express connects directly to D.C.'s employment centers, bypassing traffic congestion. Neighborhoods range from the waterfront community of Aquia Harbour with its marina and golf course to Garrisonville's commercial hub, home to The Log Cabin, serving upscale seafood and steaks since 1942.

Beyond the historical sites

Potomac Point Winery delivers a Tuscan-inspired experience with award-winning wines and bistro dining, while Stafford Civil War Park's 41 acres preserve winter encampments where 135,000 Union soldiers once gathered. The area serves as an ideal base for exploring Fredericksburg's battlefields or D.C.'s museums, with major airports within an hour's drive.
