Virginia Lakefront Recreation Meets U.S. History

The water always holds an attraction and Fawn Lake makes the most of its ideal setting

Gated and Private Communities Value Local History, Second Homes Open Up Historical Discovery

In many choice lifestyle and second home locations, the history of the region is an amenity on par with golf, fitness, horseback riding, tennis or any other diversion. Nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Potomac River, Fredericksburg, Virginia has long been an American treasure, with numerous sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With its proximity to Washington, DC, Fawn Lake is an ideal second home destination and maybe one of the nation’s best historical destinations too. Cultural tourism is an important economic driver, for more information on this trend visit Shenandoah University’s History and Tourism Center.
