Welcome
to Remington—a small Virginia town on the crossroads
of history.
The story of Remington is one which was
repeated in thousands of small American towns as the nation
grew around them. Situated on a scenic natural crossing
of the Rappahannock River in Southern Fauquier County,
between Charlottesville and Manassas, Remington was founded
in the early nineteenth century. The town served as a transportation
link on the Rappahannock River Canal and later the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad before becoming the commercial
hub of Southern Fauquier County.
During
the Civil War, Remington witnessed numerous engagements,
including the Battle of Kelly's Ford, the Raid at Rappahannock
Station, and the Battle of Brandy Station—the largest
cavalry engagement of the war. Click here to start your
