Kenmore Association is a historic property located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The property is managed by the George Washington Foundation, and it is open for public tours. Kenmore was built in the 1770s by Fielding Lewis, a wealthy merchant and planter, and his wife Betty Washington Lewis, George Washington's sister. The house is considered one of the best examples of Georgian architecture in the United States.

The Kenmore property includes the main house, a kitchen, a laundry, and a garden. The main house is a two-story brick building with a central hallway and four rooms on each floor. The interior features ornate plasterwork, woodwork, and paneling. Visitors can see the Lewis family's original furniture, as well as a collection of decorative arts and artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries.

In addition to the main house, the Kenmore Association also manages the gardens and grounds. The garden is a formal English-style garden with a central lawn, boxwood hedges, and flower beds. The grounds include a walking trail, a picnic area, and a playground.

The Kenmore Association offers guided tours of the house and garden, as well as educational programs and events throughout the year. The property is open to visitors from March to December. Kenmore is a National Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
