Raised wooden walkway across the swamp from the Stone Bridge to Evans initial position.
Gen Phil Sheridan’s horse:
Clark Gables WWII uniform among war item displays at the Smithsonian.
Section of bullet ridden witness tree.
At Manassas:
We first stopped off at the Stone Bridge, a significant location. Then took the walking loop along Confederate Gen Evans position.
Self guided walking tour with excellent descriptive signs giving you an excellent view and info about that part of First Bull Run.
Then a few miles away on Henry Hill is the visitors center. Excellent location and you can see and realize how the Innitial confederate lines were drawn and the battle developed.
Inside the visitors center is an amazing relief map with an LED show describing the battles. Clever as all get out a must see IMHO.
Then to Willard’s for a drink and dinner.
Rarely read any Civil War Bio where Willard’s isn’t mentioned.
The circular bar was full of congressional folk.
Next day Smithsonian where I wanted to see Charley McCarthy.
Well Charley is put in temp storage while they construct the new broadcasting wings of the American History Museum.
We did the entire rest of the museum though.
Dinner at the old Ebbitt Grill. A fantastic place.
