PROJECT OVERVIEW
Fauquier County is in the process of preparing an implementable interpretive park plan and conceptual park site plan for 26 acres of publicly-owned land along the Rappahannock River located within
the Rappahannock Station and Rappahannock II core Civil War battlefields. Fauquier County Department of Parks and Recreation and its community partners seek to develop a historically and environmentally sensitive river access plan meeting local recreational needs and cultural tourism goals. The planning process will
involve and educate the local community regarding the ecological and historical significance of this site. 

The purpose of this web page is to provide easy access to resources, presentations, draft and final reports utilzied in the conduct of the study.
