Tourism

Culpeper is midway between the Washington skyline and Skyline Drive, Mount Vernon and Monticello, Bull Run and Appomattox, and between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the deep blue Atlantic. This means that savvy travelers can spend their evenings in a place of timeless beauty and charm.

Culpeper is rich in history, with roots predating the Revolutionary War. The Museum of Culpeper History offers history buffs a splendid collection of dinosaur tracks, Indian artifacts, Civil War relics, historic photographs, and friendly advice.

A Walking Tour through the Historic Town of Culpeper provides a genuine study in American Colonial and Victorian architecture, dating back to 1749. Culpeper's quaint shops, galleries, and restaurants are an original Town Center. The Historic Train Depot, the region's gateway during the late 18th Century was renovated in 2000.

Civil War Battlefields include the Battles of Brandy Station, Cedar Mountain, Kelly's Ford and Culpeper.

Vineyard Tours are available at more than 40 farm wineries tucked away in the slopes of Virginia's rolling hills.
