About

Historic Kenmore is a beautiful, Georgian-style brick mansion built by George Washington's sister, Betty Washington Lewis, and her husband, Fredericksburg merchant Fielding Lewis, reflecting their pre-Revolutionary War wealth and gentry status.

The tour tells of the Lewis family and the sacrifices it made to support the American cause during the War for Independence. Eighteenth-century furniture and accessories accurately depict Fielding and Betty Washington Lewis' gentry-level wealth. Tour the grounds and see the Wilderness Walk, flower & herb gardens, and historical markers.

Open daily, closed January & February. See website for tour times.
