  • this is the abandoned renaissance faire up in Fredricksburg VA. there wasn't any trespassing signs and it was a great place to explore. i tried to cut the video down as much as i could without cutting out anything entertaining. There was several other Urban Explorers as well as other cars parked on the dirt road leading to the main gate. I went with my good friend Casey and his girlfriend Jess both featured. sorry about the quality as I only explore with my phone's camera. nothing was taken or destroyed and thanks for watching.

    From about 13:30 to about 16:30, you were in MY shop! Let’s see if I can post a photo or two of what it looked like in its glory days.

      @@eastcoastexploring278 For those of you who have no understanding of renaissance fairs, large corporations run them. We merchants contract with each individual fair. We merchants build the shops and maintain them, but we are subject to quite a few rules made by the fair owners who own the land. In the case of the Virginia fair, the owners overextended themselves and had to sell the fair. They did something quite cool though. They built 5 gorgeous shops and set up a lease to own situation with 5 merchants. I was one of those 5, so I didn't have too much invested in my big, beautiful shop when it closed. I did very well at the Virginia fair. :) Good memories.

    I worked the fair about 1997. It was a nice property but not much of a fair.

      I read it's abandoned because bad weather and swamp land. I also read George Washington's mother actually owned the land back in the day.

    I used to sneak in there to go fishing in the pond. My cousin pulled a 9lb bass out of it.

      Sassy Sue it was in operation from 1996-1999 still beautiful considering how long it's been abandoned and besides the vandalism. Wonderful place to explore I may even go back in the winter when it isn't so overgrown to get more footage.

      Twiggy manson aweome! i just saw parker productions explore-not as overgrown then. I'd definately go back! i can't believe the structures they put up. Someone had some money and a dream.

    The first place I thought of was how many poisonous plants and ticks there must have been. You guys were in short sleeves, the girl was in leggings instead of jeans, and at least one of you wasn't wearing a hat. None of you were even wearing hiking gloves. How many ticks did you guys get? Any allergic reactions from the plants? One of the guys seemingly got stabbed with a rusty needle. Did he get Tetanus? I also only saw one of you guys in boots.
