Day One:
Stratford Hall-This birthplace of
Robert E. Lee was once the largest home in the colonies and it still
is one of the most elegant appearing. Lee lived here until four years
old, but he always wanted to own it.
Fredericksburg National Battlefield-Lee,
Stonewall Jackson and James Longstreet stopped Union General Ambrose
Burnside here in December 1862. Tour includes stops along Mayre's Heights
and Jackson 's trench line and Lee's battlefield headquarters where
he was almost killed.
Chancellorsville-Scene of Lee's greatest
triumph and Jackson 's mortal wounding. Stops would include the spot
where Lee and Jackson last met, a short walk down the same road where
Jackson's 28,000-man corps left for his famous flanking movement, and
the spot where Jackson was wounded.
Day Two:
Manassas, Virginia-Jackson was pivotal
in both battles here, First Manassas in July 1861 and Second Manassas
in August 1862. Stops include the spot where Jackson won his famous
nickname, and the spots where Jackson won both battles.
Brandy Station-Scene of the largest
cavalry battle ever on the American continent. Pass by where more than
20,000 Confederates and Federals fought from horses and where the Gettysburg
campaign began.
Cedar Mountain-See the site of the
battle Jackson almost lost and where he had to personally rally his
troops by waving a sword and a flag in each hand. This Confederate victory
led to a Union mistake that almost cost them the war.
Day Three:
Lexington, Virginia-Here are two
museums (Virginia Military Institute and Washington & Lee), plus
the final resting spots of both Lee and Jackson. Take a walking tour
of downtown Lexington and see the same buildings Lee and Jackson would
have seen during their years here from 1851-1870.
