In-Person Offerings
We offer campus tours and info sessions Monday through Friday, plus tours on most Saturdays. On our tours, you’ll explore academic and student-centered buildings, residence halls, and get a real feel for life here. You’ll see a bit of everything — a campus that truly feels like home. Check our calendar to find a date that fits your schedule.
Explore Beyond Campus
Our 234-acre campus is just the start — the Mary Washington community and Fredericksburg’s charm make the experience unforgettable. After your tour, explore historic streets, vibrant arts, and plenty of eats. Craving pizza, ice cream, or coffee? You’ll find local favorites like Mellow Mushroom, Benny’s, Blue Cow, and Carl’s Frozen Custard.
End the day with a Fredericksburg Nationals game at FredNats Park for a true local vibe.
Can’t find a time that works?
No problem! Our campus is open year-round for visitors. We invite you to enjoy a Self-Guided Walking Tour anytime. While you’re here, stop by the Link to pick up a free UMW t-shirt — our little welcome gift to you.
