George Washington Boyhood Home Site
George Washington spent his early years here at Ferry Farm. This plantation is located along the northern bank of the Rappahannock River in Stafford County, Virginia. While the original boyhood home suffered a fire during 1740, you can still see the footprint of the past. To bring the history back to life, the George Washington Foundation began constructing a replica of the home on the site of the original building in 2015, and that replica house was completed in 2018. It is a National Historic Landmark that allows visitors to connect with the surroundings of Washington's youth. I find the river breeze here quite refreshing when I'm gliding over the grounds, especially since the open layout gives me a great view of the riverbank.
