Stafford Virginia Attractions

When in Stafford, Virginia; there are some attractions that one should not miss. Here are just a few of those said attractions:

The Stratford Hall Plantation, just above the Potomac River, is one of the great houses that reflect American History. Here you will find out more about Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his family (famous for being patriots): how they lived as well as the legacy that they leave behind. Much of the plantation is still managed as a farm just as it was many years ago.

The Augustine Golf Club is sure to challenge any golfer who dares to take on its well-manicured course. Even golfers from the nearby Washington D.C. or Richmond area make the drive to Stafford just for a game at Augustine.

Those who love to keep fit should also spend an afternoon (or morning) at the Massad Family YMCA of Stafford. It is a health & fitness facility where one can go swimming, play basketball or racquetball, as well as other activities. It is open 7 days a week.

The Aquia Creek is also a good place for some wholesome fun. There is a public beach where visitors can swim, go fishing, or go boating. They even have picnic areas set up. On the creek is Aquia Landing which was part of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. From here, travelers would then ride a steamboat up the Potomac River in order to reach Washington, D.C.

These are just some of the attractions that one might want to visit in Stafford. But while the places to visit in Stafford are many, the choice as to where to stay ultimately boils down to one hotel.
