The park is just beautiful and well kept and the visitor's center is a must see stop that every age can enjoy. We,ve hooked out grandchildren on civil war history by taking them here.

The battlefield is impressive by it's size and quietness...if it wasn't for fellow tourists and cars you could almost imagine the sounds. The best thing is the ability to drive your own car and see things at your own pace. We encountered a number of tour buses and school groups, but we were able to time ourselves around the throngs...

We only had about 5-6 hours for this and to really see and appreciate it you should spend the night and do it in two days.

An absolute MUST is the guided tour with a licensed tour guide in the comfort of your own car. The tour guide drives you around the battlefield - a huge area six miles long and 4 miles wide - and takes you through the 3 day battle day by day from each area of the Battlefield where the fighting took...

Great way to start your tour of the battlefield area. Must see the diarama (sorry not sure of the spelling) and the movie.
