The Eastern Flank at Spotsylvania: With Special Access!
Cost: $25.00 per person
For two weeks in May of 1864, the Union and Confederate armies clashed near Spotsylvania Court House. While the famous actions took place at the Bloody Angle or the Brock Road, the battle raged east of the village along the Fredericksburg Road.
Join American Battlefield Trust Copie Hill Fellow and Historian-in-Residence at Stevenson Ridge, Chris Mackowski, for a member-only special tour of some of the best-preserved earthworks at Stevenson Ridge. You'll access private property on a walk through the woods of Spotsylvania while learning about the role of the 9th Army Corps and the death of General Thomas G. Stevenson.
Exertion: We rate this walk as EASY, with less than 2 miles of walking and several stops. We will follow trails that may include rocks, mud, branches, tree roots, and other obstacles.
