Cost: $25.00 per person
Come walk some trails at Second Manassas with the American Battlefield Trust's Sarah Kay Bierle and explore Longstreet’s Attack on August 29-30, 1862.

This boots-on-the-ground experience allows a deeper understanding of the decisive movements in this determined fight that altered the course of the Civil War in the East in 1862.
