The Civil War was indeed America’s greatest tragedy, and no region suffered more than the Fredericksburg area. Today, the National Park Service maintains nearly 9,000 acres of land in the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, preserving where major Civil War actions took place. Two visitor centers help interpret four battlefields – Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House. A tour through these battlefields is an experience in one of the most dramatic times in American history.
