Join Culpeper Battlefield Tours for an exclusive journey through the “Union’s Valley Forge.” To mark the 163rd Anniversary of the Battle of Brandy Station, we are offering a rare, first-ever public tour of Hansbrough’s Ridge.

Hidden beneath a forest canopy described as a “Cathedral in the Woods,” this restricted site contains the nation’s largest concentration of untouched Civil War encampment features. Attendees will walk original military roads and see perfectly preserved hut-sites and fire-pits exactly as they were left in 1864.

The day begins with a tactical exploration of the “Southern Wing” maneuvers at Kelly’s Ford and Stevensburg, followed by a keynote lecture from authoritative historian Clark “Bud” Hall at the historic Inn at Kelly’s Ford.

Early Bird: $195 (Before May 15)

Standard: $240 (After May 15)

Note: Capacity is strictly limited to 50 guests. This tour requires 2+ miles of hiking on uneven, wooded terrain.
