2. When visitors enter
the main entrance of
the Manassas
Battlefield Field
Park, they will see the
Henry Hill visitor
center which houses a
bookstore and
museum. They can
also view a 45 minute
film on the park. This
is one of six entrances
to the park.
3. The Robinson House was located at the bottom of Henry Hill. It was owned
by a freed slave named James Robinson. Robinson was the third richest free
black man living in Prince William County prior to the war.
10. Follow one of the
hiking trails.
There are a couple
of different starting
points, but also trails
within trails. Hikers
will not be bored.
11. Stone Bridge road was
located on the edge of
the battlefield, but it
played a significant
role. Union and
Confederate soldiers
would wash
themselves here.
Civilians would pack
lunches and come to
the bridge to watch
the fighting.
Sometimes the
civilians would have to
run for their lives.
12. The park is very beautiful and peaceful. But we must
remember that over 150 years ago, our nation was at war with
it self. During the Battle of Manassas 1 & 2, there were
24,179 casualties. Please visit the park and honor those who
have made the ultimate sacrifice.
