Fredericksburg City Government: âA new historic highway marker honoring John Washington was unveiled Wednesday in front of the building where he used to live in downtown Fredericksburg.â
âThe marker was unveiled in front of the building that now houses Foode and JON Properties at 900 Princess Anne Street. The unveiling followed a ceremony at the nearby Fredericksburg Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall that drew approximately 125 people.â
âThe marker, titled âGreat Exodus From Bondageâ honors the journey of John Washington, who was an enslaved man in Fredericksburg who escaped to freedom on April 18, 1862, during the Civil War. He later wrote a narrative of his life. Washington used to live on the second floor of the building at 900 Princess Anne.â
