    That deep, dark water sends chills down my spine. I could never be near it. There are river monsters lurking under there! And if not, something equally as terrifying. OMG, I’ve got the tingles now. 😬

    @Luisma927 24 дні тому

    The new visitor's center looks nice! But I'm not gonna lie, I prefer the old one. The previous location was more representative of Old Town Fredericksburg, being situated inside such an old and architecturally beautiful building. There's nothing wrong with the new location, but it feels like any other modern building you would walk into today. It doesn't have the character or coziness of the old location. Still, I'm glad to see investments being made in our FXBG!
