This 2,700 acre park contains a 16-stop driving tour which takes visitors through all four units of Petersburg National Battlefield: General Grant's Headquarters at City Point (present day Hopewell), Virginia; The Eastern Front (where the initial assaults and the Battles of the Crater and Fort Stedman occurred); the Western Front, where intense fighting continued as Grant's Army encircled the city struggling to destory the last of Lee's supply lines; and the Five Forks Battlefield, a battle in which the outcome would eventually lead to the Confederates' retreat to Appomattox.

Find Out Why You Will Fall in
Love With the Best Part of Virginia
Picture yourself savoring a mouthwatering meal, a special glass of wine, or a cold brew while watching a breathtaking sunset from the shores of the Appomattox or James Rivers. How about singing along at that lively concert or being inspired by a work of art. Or maybe feeling the adrenaline rush that comes with your bike leaping over the trail, or the race car speeding by at 200mph, or flying across the zoo on a zip line, or shooting the rapids in a kayak. You may also find yourself speechless as you gaze across a battlefield where thousands fought and died.
