Why do people love Westmoreland County and Colonial Beach?

Bounded on the north by the Potomac River and on the south by the Rappahannock River, Westmoreland County sits firmly on the Northern Neck Peninsula of eastern VA. This 236 square mile community with 250 miles of shoreline offers a pleasant mix of history, recreation and a friendly small-town feel. Residents of Westmoreland County escape the hustle and bustle of the city to the wide-open waters, rolling fields and vast forests. With 5,250 acres of pristine waterfront parks and nature preserves in the county, there are plenty of recreational opportunities and educational programs!

Westmoreland County’s rich history as the birthplace of George Washington and James Monroe as well as the home of the storied Lee family at Stratford Hall will interest any history buff! Richard Henry Lee’s Leedstown Resolves were signed by 115 patriots in Westmoreland County in 1766, which fanned the revolutionary flames that led to our Declaration of Independence. In more recent history, Alexander Graham Bell had a grand Victorian summer home on the Potomac which you can now visit as a B&B!

Why do people love Prince William County?

Less than 30 miles from the Nation’s Capital and firmly in the Northern Virginia metro area, Prince William County is Virginia’s second-most populous county. Named for William Augustus, the youngest son of King George II of England, many colonists originally came to Prince William County to escape religious persecution. In 1653, a land patent established Prince William County as the 3000 acres from the Occoquan River to Neabsco Creek but nowadays the county encompasses 360 square miles!

Connect with America’s history by exploring one of Prince William’s countless historic sites. You can stand where “Stonewall” Jackson earned his name at Manassas National Battlefield Park or visit a former Civil War hospital at Ben Lomond Historic Site that aided those who fought in the first battle. Learn all about the Marine Corps at the National Museum of the Marine Corps or take a day trip to one of the oldest houses still standing in Northern Virginia, Rippon Lodge, where George Washington often visited!
Not a history buff? Prince William has plenty of activities for the whole family, including 12 championship golf courses, craft breweries, great shopping, gorgeous parks and awesome concert venues.

Why do people love Orange?

Established in 1734, Orange County was named in honor of William IV, Prince of Orange and covered an area that extended to the Mississippi River and Great Lakes. Nowadays, Orange County centers around Lake of the Woods, the Town of Gordonsville and the Town of Orange.
