The Wilderness Battlefield
Together we have saved 259 Acres
A unit of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Battlefield Park, the Wilderness battlefield features extensive walking trails that allow visitors to explore this hallowed ground. Stop by the Chancellorsville Visitor Center on Virginia Route 3 (the Plank Road) for museum exhibits and an orientation to the area. The Wilderness Battlefield driving tour begins at Grant's Headquarters near Ellwood Manor, proceeds to Saunders Field, where the battle opened, and continues down the Confederate line.
