Civil War tour packages

A single battlefield tour starts with a map study, to enable you to better understand the action. Then involves a walk or drive through the battlefield grounds.

Some battlefields can be packaged together due to their proximity to each other (inquire when booking); others can be packaged into an extended tour for an additional fee.

We offer tours of the following Shenandoah battlefields:

• Fisher’s Hill/Tom’s Brook Tour

• Third Winchester Tour

• Cedar Creek Tour

• Cross Keys/Port Republic Tour

• New Market Tour

• Front Royal/Milford Tour

• Second Winchester Tour

Price per individual battlefield tour:

$150/$175 (your vehicle/our vehicle)

Duration: half day (minimum)

Valley Campaign Tours start with extensive map studies to give you a better understanding of the campaign’s “big picture” before embarking on non-sequential site visits to walk or drive through the battlefields involved.

Due to the geographical length and breadth of these campaigns, battlefields are not visited in historical order. (Sequential tours can be accommodated for an added cost.)

1862 Jackson’s Valley Campaign Tour

• 1st Kernstown

• McDowell

• Front Royal

• Harrisonburg (death site of Turner Ashby)

• Cross Keys/Port Republic

• Additional non-battlefield sites of significance

1864 Sheridan’s Valley Campaign Tour
