About this Event
Embark on the Fredericksburg Audio Tour: Echoes and Elegance of Maryes Heights
Battle-scarred stone walls and hidden parlors remember secrets that Fredericksburg’s tranquil streets would rather keep. Here, the shadows of revolutionaries and rebels still linger just beyond the surface.
This self-guided audio tour invites you through Maryes Heights, Kenmore, the Matthew Fontaine Maury School, and the James Monroe Law Office, unlocking forgotten episodes and local legends that most visitors miss.
What desperate decision was made behind the Kenmore House’s elegant façade as gunfire thundered outside? Why did a renowned scientist at the school risk everything for a global journey most called madness? Which odd law was whispered into existence at Monroe’s unassuming law office, and what scandal blew open its doors?
Move in the footsteps of presidents, soldiers, and dreamers. Feel history twist around every corner as you discover Fredericksburg through dramatic tales and curious mysteries.
Begin the journey and see what the city’s silent witnesses are dying to reveal.
