Welcome to Culpeper County
Home of “One of the 10 Best Small Towns in the America,” Culpeper County is home to many antebellum plantation homes and thousands of acres of farmland. The county is enjoying its newer designation as one of Washington, D.C.’s bedroom communities.
Key Features
Location: Culpeper is one of the best places in the state for job seekers, according to recent studies. Besides the county’s high median income and steady population growth, experts credit the location to its success. It’s only an hour from D.C., Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, or the Shenandoah Valley, making it ideal for any worker looking to commute while enjoying the rural, mountainous views of Culpeper.
Farm-to-Table: The farm-to-table has become a tradition in Culpeper with more than a dozen eateries using the century-old, agriculture techniques of our ancestors. To honor the county’s farm-to-table heritage, these chefs use fresh ingredients whether you’re looking for smoky, yet sweet barbeque or unique, hand-cut sushi.
