When I was homeschooling my children, I planned on taking the kids to many of the Civil War battlefields. I planned on doing it on our 3-month US History field trip. Sadly, we were never able to make that trip. I finally succeeded in taking at least one child to some of the sites. Sure, he was just about to start grad school, but we finally did it.
As we drove from Baltimore, Maryland, to Williamsburg, Virginia, we stopped to stretch our legs and realized we were just 10 minutes away, so we had to stop. It became the perfect place to stretch our legs.
The site is where the first urban combat in American history occurred. I believe anyone interested in history and the Civil War would find it interesting.
There is something so surreal about walking through the location of one of the largest and deadliest battles of the Civil War.

Because we just visited the Fredericksburg Battlefield and National Cemetery, and there are many other sites in and near the historic town of Fredericksburg I want to go back and spend more time .
