Hosting friends or family in town? Don't just hang at home—show them the best of Stafford! 🌟

Here are some ideas that’ll make your visitors say, 'Wow, I had no idea this was here!' 🤩

-Explore the Great Outdoors: Stafford has 28 parks and even more incredible natural wonders, like Government Island where you can see the stone used to help build the White House and Capital Building!

-Savor Local Flavors: while chain restaurants are an easy go to, supporting local businesses means so much more! The Log Cabin Restaurant is Stafford's oldest running business and restaurant!

-Step Back in Time: we have so much history still living with us today, like Chatham Manor - which is also a National Park!

-Get Inspired by Local Art: whether you prefer strolling the impressive gallery at Gari Melchers Home and Studio or sitting back, relaxing and watching a live performance at Riverside Center for the Performing Arts, Stafford will leave you in awe of it's past and present residents.

-Discover Hidden Gems: the best way to keep things hidden is right in front of you - and that's exactly where we hide them! Stafford's Civil War Park is just off 95 and a fantastic place to picnic or walk through history. And did you know we have a beach? Aquia Landing Park is a secret hideaway for many of the locals, and we can't wait for you to join them!

Tag us when you’re out exploring and share your favorite spots. Let’s rediscover the magic of our hometown together!
