I took my father in law for a tour of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville battlefields July 2024. We also went by the Stonewall Jackson Death site (inside was under repair and closed).

Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park

“I am a big Civil War enthusiast and love going to the outdoor nature parks from Acadia out to the Grand Canyon”
