The grounds and home are beautiful. The family was quite wealthy and had very ornate plaster work done.

We snuck in anyway and walked around the grounds, but we were not able to see the fabulous plaster work inside that our B&B friends raved about. If we come back to Fredericksburg, this will be Stop #1.

I enjoyed learning about the history behind the Kenmore Plantation

If you're into local history and architecture, this is a must see

This is the home of Geo. Washington's sister. Kenmore is well-known for decorative ceilings and over-the-fireplace. Great adjacent museum on the property to help you learn more about the family.

Very nice guided tour. Beautiful stucco ceilings done by an unidentified slave nicknamed "Stucco Man". Informative introductory video.

The house is not impressive from the outside, and there are no furnishings at the present time, but the plaster work on the ceilings is well worth the trip. It is located right in the historic district so it is easy to get to.

George Washington slept here at the home of his sister Mary. Once a large tobacco plantation, it is now a several acre historical site containing a small museum, colonial manor house, kitchen building and small flower garden. The stucco/plaster ceilings in the home have been restored to their grandeur and are awesome. Be sure to check out the Civil War... More

Kenmore was recommended by a friend and the tour was amazing!!! Our tour guide was fabulous and shared so much history with us including how the amazing ceilings were designed and made by "the stucco-man". Amazing bit of history of how "the gentry" lived. Highly recommend this stop and I plan on going back!!
