HALF-DAY TRIPS
to D.C. CIVIL WAR SITES




The Virginia-Maryland-DC area is unarguably a treasure-trove of Civil War history. Although most Civil War enthusiasts who have lived here for some time probably know every nook and cranny of CW-related turf, there are those of us who have yet to discover many of the out-of-the-way sites scattered around the area.
This page introduces as many of these sites as I can find - it is a work-in-progress. And since they are local to DC and the surrounding area, it doesn't take long to drive out and visit them.
If you have any places of interest you'd like to offer, please email the WebMaster. Even if it's just an address or a website, the information is welcome and will be posted. Someday I might even get around to posting a map as well!
