A strategic location between Richmond and Washington, DC, made Fredericksburg
the site of some of the Civil War's most grisly battles. While these events
are very much in Fredericksburg's past, they are by no means forgotten. A trip
to the Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park includes historian
led tours that inform visitors of the battles. This particular site also includes
Chatham, a pre-revolutionary mansion that served, at times, as both a Union
hospital and an army headquarters. Visitors can tour five rooms of the home.
At the Fredericksburg National Cemetery, visitors can pay their respects to
more than 15,000 Civil War soldiers.
