After getting my oil changed in Richmond , I was driving north towards home and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park as the location wasn’t that far off the highway. I started my journey at the Stonewall Shrine a little south of the National Park. Parking was a breeze even though I arrived when a tourist group began their tour. My trusty companion and I walked on the very dugouts the stonewall was built. Raw , real history in the flesh happened at the various spots I walked to learn more about our nations past wars . It wasn’t crowded and best of all it everything was free . A chance to learn about how the world thought and acted upon is never a disappointment . I couldn’t visit the cemetery for obvious reasons but I could feel a sense of pain and pride soldiers endured back then as a veteran myself who can relate to hardships . 10/10 recommended park to visit in Virginia
I was looking forward to viewing the visitor center. Only to be extremely disappointed to find this sign on the door upon arriving. If the president can't keep from getting it I don't think a little face diaper will help the staff. It was really too hot to walk around outside. Good luck on your funding with fewer visitors. It's just typical of one part of the government not paying attention to what the other part say when the CDC says you don't have to wear one but The NPS says you do. What a bunch of confusion. The videos online are great, too bad I can't come to the site and find out about it without Draconian measures.
Kids and I got a Junior Ranger Acitivity book from the Rangers and we walked around reading the information. It was very educational. Some things we had to skip to keep moving due to kids getting restless. But overall the kids and I enjoyed it. Kids were wowed about the bullet holes in Innis House. While standing at grave #2864 and reading a story from the activity book, we could have a sense of what the writer was feeling.
Fredericksburg National Battlefield is a beautifully preserved piece of history from the civil way. It's a very enjoyable place to visit and learn about what this country went through during outright civil war. This is a must see if you're in the area. Downtown historic Fredericksburg is a great place to visit and get a cup of coffee or a bite to eat at many of the restaurants in the vicinity.
南北戦争の激戦地を偲ぶ古戦場跡と墓地です。 ナショナルビジターセンターの屋内展示物で、概要を知ることができます。 半マイルの遊歩道もあり、解説に触れながら昔を偲びました。
