The Essex Inn, a Virginia bed and breakfast, was built in 1850 and is located in the Historic District of Tappahannock. The Inn is the newest of thirteen buildings on our walking tour, the oldest having been built in 1680. It is ideally situated for a stroll of our historic village, which sits along the Rappahannock River. The Native American name, Tappahannock, means "Town on the rise and fall of water."
