Westmoreland County, VA
Westmoreland County, VA - A Preferred Boating Destination
Formed in 1653 from Northumberland County, Westmoreland County is the birthplace to George Washington, and James Monroe, and home to Declaration of Independence signers Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee. George Washington Birthplace National Monument, James Monroe Birthplace, and Stratford Hall are all welcome the public and provide the context and stories of those who lived and worked in Westmoreland County centuries ago.
The county seat of Montross recently was designated an historic district, and hosts a Courthouse Green, town park and playground, restaurant, coffee shop, local fine art and jewelry, a brewery, and the Westmoreland County Museum. Outside of Montross is Westmoreland State Park, an historic district due to its history as one of the original Civilian Conservation Corps constructed state parks. If you want to stretch your legs on another beautiful trail, the Voorhees Nature Preserve has overlooks onto the Rappahannock River.
