Introduction

Stafford, Virginia

Stafford County, Virginia, is becoming a go-to place for sports tournament rightsholders looking for a location with ample facilities for events, hotels, and other infrastructure to support players on and off the field. One of our goals as an organization is to make it easy and convenient for sports rightsholders to choose Stafford.

Explore the running grounds for a young George Washington at George Washington Ferry Farm. The site offers visitors a chance to tour the grounds where Washington and his family, including his mother Mary lived, guided or individually for a fair price.

Travelers of all ages will be able to find something to do along Stafford’s Kegs and Corks Trail and the variety of breweries, in which visitors can get a free pass to have access to rewards as they visit them. Some venues include 6 Bears & A Goat Brewing Company in which one can order a variety of foods like subs burgers and kid offerings, along with their popular beer selection for adults. For those with a taste for wine, visitors will satisfy their craving with the Potomac Point Winery & Vineyard.

Often an artist’s love for creativity will creep into other aspects of their life outside of their work and that can be seen in Gari Melchers Stafford-based 27-acre estate. Visitors can go on group tours and view the house, other art exhibits and studio. Groups can also take free photos or affordable professional photos. There are also stunning gardens that visitors can meander through.

An important relic of American history can be found at Aquia Landing, which acted as a transfer point between railroad and steamboat for enslaved people heading toward freedom. Famous individuals who stopped in Aquia include Ellen and William Craft and Henry “Box” Brown. Visitors can enjoy the beaches near the Potomac River and swim, kayak, fish, and more in the refreshing water.
