Stafford County is one of the most historic counties in the United States. Aside from the presence of dinosaur tracks and a rich Native American History, there is much Colonial and Civil War history of interest to many. For modern times, the Marine Corps Base Quantico is near the newly established National Museum of the Marine Corps which attracts thousands of annual visitors. It is located just off I-95 near the northern entrance to the Quantico Base which covers about 20% of the northern part of Stafford County.

Stafford is located 25 miles south of the Washington, DC beltway and is about 60 miles north of Virginia’s capital, Richmond, and is convenient to Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown as well.

For those interested in history, Stafford can serve as center of activity for day trips to visit Montpelier, Monticello, Stratford Hall, Mt Vernon and four of the local Civil War Battlefields which are located within a 20 mile radius.
