Wow! Miss Mabel Love.
Chatham is well worth visiting.
The NPS Museum/Visitors' Center in F'Burg is a must see. They show a nice movie in a little theatre describing the battle. Last time I was there me and my girlfriend were waiting for the next showing of the movie and the building started shaking and rumbling and roaring. I thought, "WOW, that movie's got some great special effects!!!" Then I figured out, that ain't the movie and I shouted out "This is an earthquake!!!!!!!!" Sure enough it was. The museum staff hollered at everyone to evacuate the bldg. Same earthquake that messed up the Washington Monument and other bldgs. in DC. When I got home here in Manassas everything that was previously standing upright on my bookshelves was on the floor. F'Burg takes more than a day to see everything if you want to include Chancellorsville. I'd recommend at least two days in that area before heading north up to Maryland.
Has the final itinerary been mapped out?I know. I know. One day?!? It sounds crazy to me too, but it looks like that's all the time we will have. We'll be passing through there on a trip to Maryland at the end of August. The trip is connected to business (I'm providing staff development for a Maryland school district) so we're just adding on a wee bit of fun.
Of course we'll visit the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania Battlefield and Ellwood. I have to see where Longstreet was wounded (Is that well marked?) and where Stonewall's arm is buried. Any other recommendations for must-see attractions? Remember we get up at the crack of dawn when we travel and "get a move on."
Anyone visited Chatham Manor (I saw the lovely thread) and Kenmore Plantation? If I have to pick one, which one do I pick? Shhh. I may be able to persuade the hubby to stay a little bit longer. He kinda likes me and I can be very persuasive at times.
I read that the 2400 Diner is a great spot for breakfast and I'm sure we'll have dinner at the Bavarian Chef because it's located in the old train station.
Help me out friends!!!
By the way, you inspired me @Jimklag with your bucket list thread! Just saying!

That's cool.
