Chatham Manor sits on the Rappahannock River in Fredericksburg, Virgina and was a Union field hospital during the Civil War battles in Fredericksburg.
The Union army took over the home and at one point nearly destroyed it with blood stains and the removal of wood panelling and whatever else they could burn to keep warm. It is now a National Historic Site.
In the 1920’s a new buyer rennovated the property and gardens. The gardens are beautiful and worth the trip. We went in the first week of October.
