Central Rappahannock Heritage Center

The Central Rappahannock Heritage Center, located in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia, is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization whose mission is to preserve historically valuable material from the Fredericksburg region and make it available to the public for research. The Center holds more than 85,000 collection records, including photographs and original documents dating from the early 1700s. We collect and maintain records from the City of Fredericksburg and the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, and Stafford. In addition, the center has many personal and family letters and documents, local business records, church and civic organization records, school records, documents on slavery, genealogy records, bound newspapers, books, maps, postcards, and photographs, including thousands of scanned images that can be viewed online.
