This outdoor facility across Va. 199 from Water Country USA boasts 20-foot-high busts of the first 43 U.S. presidents -- at press time, a bust of the 44th president, Barack Obama, had not been unveiled. One wag has described this place as "Mt. Rushmore East." Standing as they do in the middle of a garden, they also remind me a bit of those mysterious stone statues on Easter Island. They're the result of 5 year's work by sculptor David Adicks. Self-guided tours explain each president's accomplishments, complete with music from his day. It's a quick refresher course in American history, but I don't think it's interesting enough to keep children's attention, especially after they've visited the Historic Area.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
