Review:
Fredericksburg Main Street is the city's main artery, where everything starts and ends. It has two distinctive parts - The Magic Mile central shopping district, and the historic West Main Street. Separating the two is the Marktplatz, with its pavilions, green lawns, waterwheel, the famous Maibaum (maypole), and picnic tables, is the heart of the city and the site of many big festivals and community events.
The Vereins Kirche Museum, the oldest building in Fredericksburg, is also on the Marktplatz. The Magic Mile starts at the Admiral Nimitz Museum, and it is lined on both sides with beautiful historical buildings, many of which are home to high-end shops. Visitors enjoy wide sidewalks and beautiful courtyards, and there is breathtaking architecture on every block.
