Sumerduck is a small rural village located equidistant between Fredericksburg, Culpeper, and Warrenton, in Fauquier County, Virginia.
Colloquially referred to as "the Duck," this community is the home of the Sumerduck dragway. According to Sumerduck Trading Company, hunting, four-wheeling, and metal detecting are the most popular activities in this area, the latter due to its proximity to major conflicts during the American Civil War.
