Join us on campus this summer.

Sign up for a weekday, weekend, or July enhanced summer visit.

There’s a lot to love on our 234-acre campus – the warm, welcoming Mary Wash community most of all. After a UMW campus tour, explore our quaint Fredericksburg charm - bustling with rich history, vibrant arts, and the great outdoors. If you're a foodie or coffee-lover, you're also in the right place. Come visit, and we’ll show you all we have to offer. The truth is, you can’t really get us until you see us for yourself.
