Touring the Battlefield
The battlefield is designed primarily for self-guided walking tours but guided tours by qualified battlefield guides are available for groups and individuals by appointment. These walking tours are offered at no charge, but donations which will be used for battlefield development and preservation are encouraged and would be gratefully accepted. The battlefield can be toured in less than one hour, though a longer stay will permit the visitor to explore more of the battlefield and learn more about the December 17, 1862 battle.
