Tis the reason i moved here!I really adore the state of Virginia. Besides the American Civil War sites, there is a ton to do in this state. Virginia is for HISTORY lovers!!!!
My first visit was in June 2014. Flew into Newport News on the afternoon of 6/18. Was in Williamsburg from 6/19 to the afternoon of 6/22. Didn't even know an ACW battle had been fought there. Went to the Mariner's Museum and saw the USS Monitor Exhibit on the morning of 6/23. That's when I caught the bug.My first visit to the state of Virginia was in 2007. We visited Lexington and toured the Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson sites. The rest is history.....
By the way, the Virginia ACW battlefields are in chronological order by dates.

I agree but would the viewer enjoy to see a monument related to the Battle of Yellow Tavern or a bunch of Virginia State Historical Markers located on a busy freeway interchange? This is why I placed "Battle of Yellow Tavern" instead of "Yellow Tavern Battlefield" on the photo of the J.E.B. Stuart Monument.I would put an asterisk next to the notation of Yellow Tavern. That is the marker for where Stuart was shot. The battlefield itself is gone. It's all residential or under interstate 295.
Very nicely done, thank you for sharing!
I love how the music matches the photos and I know that I have heard it before. Do you still know what it was?
I will be touring Virginia in September, as @John Winn will, too, before we'll join the Reunion at Gettysburg. Can't wait to see all these places (or at least some) with my own eyes!
