== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Westmoreland County is a swing area in most elections.
* George Washington and Robert E. Lee were both born in Westmoreland County. Stratford Hall, where Robert E. Lee was born, is located just east of Westmoreland State Park, and the George Washington Birthplace National Monument is accessible via turning east on State Route 204 at Wakefield Corner.
* Once a year, Montross has a festival in celebration of the town. It includes parades and game stands. The event is usually held in October and is widely attended by town residents.
