The "Old Dominion" is filled with beautiful scenery, historic cities, plantations and battlefield sites. Northern Virginia was the site of many battles - including Civil War battles - because of its proximity to the nation's capital. It's no surprise that the state has a number of battlefield reenactments, museums and demonstrations. Manassas is famous for being the site of the Battle of Bull-Run while the city of Fredericksburg is known to have endured through the Civil War.

Virginia is also known for it state's slogan, "Virginia is for Lovers" which originated in 1969. The Virginia State Travel Service wanted to adopt a slogan that would bring in tourism and during the age of hippies, had though it appropriate. However, today the slogan means many different things.
