Event comments
The battlefield website is http://www.nps.gov/mana. Manassas National Battlefield Park, located north of Manassas, Virginia, preserves the site of two major American Civil War battles: the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861, and the Second Battle of Bull Run which was fought between August 28 and August 30, 1862 (also known as the First Battle of Manassas and the Second Battle of Manassas, respectively). The peaceful Virginia countryside bore witness to clashes between the armies of the North (Union) and South (Confederacy), and it was here that Confederate General Thomas J. Jackson acquired his nickname "Stonewall." Today the National Battlefield Park provides the opportunity for visitors to explore the historic terrain where men fought and died for their beliefs more than a century ago. More than 900,000 people visit the battlefield each year. (In comparison, roughly 15 million people visit nearby Washington, DC, annually.) As an historic area under the National Park Service, the park was administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. Trail has very little shade. Today the battlefield park provides the opportunity for visitors to explore the historic terrain where men fought and died for their beliefs a century ago. Pack a snack/lunch. There is a bench under a tree with a great view. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas.
