Join Ranger Webb-Watkins on an in-depth exploration of the Battle of Cedar Mountain.

This easy one-hour, 0.75-mile hike will take you across the battlefield and share with you the details of the battle, from an anecdote about a soldier chiding his little brother about walking from Pennsylvania to find him to which spot was critical for determining the fate of the battle.

Bring water, sunscreen, and, most importantly, questions! Tours are weather permitting and begin at the Park Office. This program is appropriate for children ages twelve and up. A ranger gesturing at Cedar Mountain
