Chancellorsville Battlefield is one component of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. This small area west of Fredericksburg witnessed the heaviest and most brutal fighting in American history. The casualties from these battles number in the thousands and many lie buried and unknown beneath these hills. Chancellorsville marked the beginning of these battles when Joseph Hooker and his Union soldiers crossed the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers to threaten Robert E. Lee’s troops camped on the highland defending Fredericksburg.

Battlefield Park featuring Lee's greatest victory, and also his stunning loss of Gen. Stonewall Jackson, fatally wounded here.

A sprawling battlefield that continues to add more acreage to the park, see the site of Jackson's flank attack and where he was wounded.

My husband and I visited recently and were pleasantly surprised at how well put together the visitor center was! The visitor center seems to lead one on a journey to learn the unfolding of the battle, and the personal stories of the people involved, North and South, soldier, civilians, doctors. We found the stories fascinating and sobering and felt the heaviness of what happened there. There were many artifacts and some audio buttons you could push to hear narrations or short films. Pace yourself to save time for the grand finale-a room with walls covered in large photographs of soldiers who fought there and beneath them the seemingly endless names of men who died there. There are also nice trails and paths to walk with markers showing where Stonewall Jackson was mortally wounded, some Confederate trenches and other interesting sites. Both The Wilderness Battlefield and Chancellorsville are near Culpeper on Route 3. If you love history or feel the need to learn about our past struggles as a nation, it is worth going to see these.
