NEW YEAR'S EVE.  We have 1 room remaining for New Year's Eve.  If you haven't been to Fredericksburg for First Night, it's a wonderful evening.  Everything is walking, there are many street vendors, music, and restaurants open to celebrate.  It's a very lovely event and it can be done for free, or with the purchase of a button to get you into other events.  Don't miss out on this annual fun - a great way to start the new year!

RIVERSIDE DINNER THEATER. 
The Schooler House and Riverside Dinner Theater have joined together to offer special rates for our guests who are staying with us.  The prices are extremely reasonable, particularly for the dinner show.  If you are interested in attending one of the delightful shows at the Riverside while visiting, please be sure to contact me to obtain the codes you will need to receive this special discount.  The Riverside provides wonderful entertainment in our community!

NEW ADDITIONS!
We're pleased to let you know that we have added small sofa beds to each room for those who may need a single bed during their visit.  The mattress is extremely comfortable and the love seats are really cute.  We've added these particularly for parents who are visiting UMW with their teenage children.  I hope you enjoy the addition to the rooms; we're very happy to make this change.

CIVIL WAR FREDERICKSBURG - THEN AND NOW.  Very exciting news in the city.  The Fredericksburg Civil War Round Table and the Central Virginia Battlefields Trust have collaborated on a wonderful DVD about the battle.  They spent 2 years compiling information of local accounts and historical artifacts.  This DVD has so much information for Civil War buffs who are interested in more than just the battle.  Proceeds for the sale are donated to the Central Virginia Battlefields Trust for battlefield land preservation.  This organization has helped save more than 8900 acres of battlefields in our local area.  There is a 1 Disc version ($14.95) with the feature and a 2 Disc version ($19.95) that includes research materials.  This 2 Disc version has amazing resource material for educators. 

If you are interested in obtaining this DVD, I'd be happy to assist.  Just let me know which version you want.  There is no mark-up on the DVD and all proceeds go directly to the CVBT.  You may pick up your copy here at The Schooler House or if you are have visited and want to order, please send check to The Schooler House.  I will gladly ship at no charge.  The DVD is also available at Fredericksburg Area Museum, Fredericksburg Area National Park Book Stores, Grey Ghost Gallery, Amy's Cafe, and Fredericksburg Visitor Center at the same price.

This is a great stocking stuffer for the holidays.  Anyone interested in the  Civil War will love this DVD!


OUR GUESTS HAVE TALENT!
A recent guest to The Schooler House Bed & Breakfast, Jack Clarfelt and his wife, Sandra, from England, enjoyed 5 nights in Fredericksburg. Every afternoon, Jack and Sandra would relax in the back yard and on the front porch. This is a sketch and watercolor that Jack did one afternoon. Obviously, Jack has talent!
