Civil War Battlefields
Of all the prominent cities in the Civil War, Richmond, the capital of the CSA, was prized more than any other. As such, thirteen battles occurred within 20 miles, most with major casualties. “On to Richmond” was the constant Union battle cry. Led by our Expert Guide, the tour begins at Chimborazo Medical Museum. Four important battlefields, Beaver Dam, Gaines Mill, Cold Harbor and Malvern Hill are visited. Between each battlefield, short stops are made to explain important troop movements where they happened.
