Washington farm eyed for Wal-Mart on George Washington’s boyhood land
The Ferry Farm site near Fredericksburg along the Rappahannock River faces a possible Wal-Mart store. Opponents argue the 30 acre site would overwhelm the preserved 15 acre historic foundation and erode a national treasure. Wal-Mart says the land is zoned commercial and plans to break ground soon for a store slated to open next year.
