Staunton River Battlefield State Park [VA]
At this historic site, a ragtag group of Confederate old men and young boys beat the odds and held off an assault by 5,000 Union cavalry soldiers on a bridge of strategic importance to General Lee’s army, then under siege in Petersburg.
The park offers visitors a visitor and gift shop, along with an environmental education center, and a variety of outdoors activities. The site offers basic visitor information, along with links to nearby attractions, a calendar of events, and a very brief history of the park.
