Rising Sun Tavern, Colonial tavern in Fredericksburg, United States.
The Rising Sun Tavern stands as a two-story wooden structure with a large front porch at 1304 Caroline Street in Fredericksburg.
Charles Washington, George Washington's younger brother, constructed the building in 1760 as a private residence before its transformation into a tavern in 1792.
The tavern represents colonial hospitality patterns through period furnishings, architectural elements, and preserved original woodwork from the eighteenth century.
Washington Heritage Museums maintains the property, offering guided interpretations of eighteenth-century tavern life through educational tours and seasonal programs.
The structure retained its original name 'Eagle Tavern' until the twentieth century when it received its current designation as Rising Sun Tavern.
