During last weekend, we visited historical Town of Remington and Culpepper both situated in the State of Virginia, USA. Drive from our Warrenton home was about two hours but was most enjoyable as the road was very good surrounded by trees and greenery all over. First we visited Remington and thereafter Culpepper. Details are given below
REMINGTON Town
We visited Remington Town which is near the Rappahannock River in Southern Fauquier County. The town of Remington began as a small grist mill settlement about 1800 called Millview. It was renamed “Bowensville” around 1850, for a prominent local landowner.
It served as a stop on the Rappahannock River canal, where farmers could send goods to the Fredericksburg market. In 1852 the Orange and Alexandria Railroad was completed through the town and the area was re-named Rappahannock Station accordingly.
During the Civil War, Rappahannock Station was the scene of numerous engagements, as the river would become a fiercely-contested defensive line. The railroad bridge was burned and rebuilt four times, and many buildings were destroyed.
REMINGTON CAR SHOW
After that we went to see Car Show which had Vintage Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, and Tractors on display. Participating owners had to pay $20.00 Registration. All Proceeds were to be split between Remington Volunteer Fire Department and M.M Pierce Elementary School.
We have taken few photographs of these beauties which are presented below.
