Westmoreland State Park

Westmoreland State Park sits on 1,321 acres along the Potomac River's Northern Neck, at the site of the region's fossil-rich cliffs. Established in 1936 as one of six original Virginia state parks developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For groups and celebrations, the park's Helen and Tayloe Murphy Hall is a CCC-era meeting facility with a 45-by-27-foot main hall, an executive boardroom, and a full catering kitchen, available for day-use rental from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Weddings can be held indoors in Murphy Hall, which accommodates up to 72 guests for ceremonies and receptions, or outdoors on the Visitor Center lawn overlooking the Potomac, which holds up to 75 guests for ceremonies. Murphy Hall comes equipped with folding and round tables, upholstered chairs, Wi-Fi, and audio/visual equipment, with catering and DJ services permitted with proper insurance. Beyond its event spaces, the park offers hiking trails, fishing, boating access to the Potomac River and Rock Spring Pond, and beaches known for fossil hunting, along with camping and cabin accommodations for overnight guests.
