About Rappahannock Record Welcome to the online version of the Rappahannock Record, an independently-owned weekly newspaper published in Kilmarnock, Lancaster County, Virginia. Kilmarnock is a trading center for the Northern Neck, a peninsula in Virginia bordered by the Chesapeake Bay and the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers.

Much like this online version, the paper is divided into various news segments. The front page, Local Life, Sports and The Northern Neck Marketplace lead off the section fronts. Other pages are devoted to a calendar of events for the week, stories about upcoming events, opinions, and news about government, schools, businesses and churches.
