Walk in the footsteps of the Culpeper Minutemen, General A.P. Hill, and Baseball Hall-of-Famer Eppa Rixey, just a few of the heroic figures from Culpeper who made their mark on American history.

Historic homes and Colonial era churches complement miles of scenic byways. Hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing, and horseback riding are great ways to enjoy the Culpeper countryside. Catch a horse show at Commonwealth Park. Treat yourself to a glass of fine Virginia wine at Old House Vineyards, Unicorn Winery, Gray Ghost Vineyards or Prince Michel Vineyard & Winery, or visit Belmont Farm, where moonshine is made legally.
