Walk among the hallowed battlefields and visit historic homes that served as the stage for this last dramatic chapter of the War. Visit the headquarters of titanic generals, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. Walk in Lincoln’s footsteps when he visited the Union Army. Follow the daring route of runaway slaves and Confederate cattle thieves. Battling Armies spent 9 1/2 months in and around Petersburg, so plan to spend at least two days soaking up the history. **Highlights: - **Petersburg National Battlefield** - **Grant’s Headquarters at City Point** - **Pamplin Historical Park** - **Lincoln’s Visit** - **City Point National Cemetery** - **Beefsteak Raid** - **Five Forks** - **Violet Bank** - **Old Towne Petersburg** ### The Backstory In June of 1864, the Union Army crossed the James River and attacked Confederate defenses on the outskirts of Petersburg, Virginia. This started what was to become a 9 1/2 month siege that effectively ended the American Civil War. Petersburg was a vital supply hub for the Confederacy due to the many railroads connecting the City to other parts of the South. General Ulysses S. Grant and his soldiers surrounded Petersburg and General Robert E. Lee and his men tried desperately to keep them out. There are several notable battlefields, museums, and historic homes to visit. Read on for more. ### The Tour **Petersburg National Battlefield** is the natural place to start your tour. The [Eastern Front Unit](https://www.nps.gov/pete/index.htm) includes the main visitor center and a four mile, 7-stop tour road, which includes the infamous Battle of the Crater. The Visitor Center is open from 9:00 – 5:00 pm daily except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day when the park is closed. The park itself is open from 9 AM to Sunset so you can still tour the park if the Visitor Center is closed. After getting a general sense of the Siege of Petersburg at the Eastern Front Unit, visit the Headquarters of the great commanders of the battling Armies. Just across the Appomattox River is [Violet Bank](https://www.colonialheightsva.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Violet-Bank-Museum-44), the **headquarters of General Robert E. Lee**, commander of the Confederate Forces at Petersburg. Violet Bank served as General Robert E. Lee’s Headquarters from June 8, 1864 to November 1, 1864. Numerous Historic displays, artifacts, and period furniture are on display. The museum is open Mon-Sat from 9-4. Ten miles away lies the Headquarters of Lee’s opponent, **General Ulysses S. Grant**, commander of the Army of the Potomac. Grant spent his time managing his troops from a small cabin located on the grounds of Appomattox Manor at City Point. **President Abraham Lincoln** also visited Grant here during the Siege. Here the James and Appomattox Rivers meet providing a strategic location from which the Union Army was supplied by ship and was the largest port in the world at the time. The site is managed by Petersburg National Battlefield and known as the [City Point Unit](https://www.nps.gov/pete/learn/historyculture/city-point.htm). Nearby, thousands of soldiers (mostly Union casualties) killed during the Siege of Petersburg rest in peace at [City Point National Cemetery](https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/national_cemeteries/Virginia/City_Point_National_Cemetery.html). There is no visitor center or staff on site, but the Cemetery is open from dawn to dusk. ![City Point During the War](https://www.visithpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/524571a-scaled.jpg "City Point During the War → Visit Hopewell / Prince George VA") Another interesting stop a little farther afield is the historical marker for the [Beefsteak Raid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beefsteak_Raid). Taking Route 10 East out of Hopewell into Prince George County, turn right onto Heritage Road and arrive at the intersection with Old Stage Road. At this intersection you will find a historical marker outlining the events of Confederate Cavalry **General Wade Hampton**‘s expedition deep behind Union lines to capture a herd of cattle. This daring feat brought nearly 3,000 cows back to Confederate Lines to feed the hungry, besieged soldiers. Continuing on a broad loop, next travel to [Five Forks Battlefield](https://www.nps.gov/pete/learn/historyculture/five-forks.htm), another satellite of Petersburg National Battlefield. Here, Confederate **General George Pickett**, attempted to prevent the **Philip Sheridan** Union Army from capturing the last remaining railroad connecting Petersburg to the outside world. Unsuccessful, the Confederate Army knew it’s days were numbered. The very next day, Union forces broke through Confederate lines at what is now Pamplin Historical Park, forcing General Robert E. Lee to **evacuate Petersburg and Richmond**. [Pamplin Historical Park](https://pamplinpark.org/) is a vital stop on this tour not only because it is the site of the Breakthrough Battle, but also houses the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier, which educates visitors on the **life of the average soldier** fighting the Civil War. Time permitting, head to Old Towne Petersburg a few miles from Pamplin Park and explore the City these two titanic Armies fought for. The **newly renovated Petersburg Visitor Center** is open and tells the story of Petersburg before, during, and after the Civil War. From there, you can walk to many historic sites in town, including **Pocahontas Island**, site of the oldest free black community in America and a vital part of the Underground Railroad. These are just some of the highlights regarding American Civil War history in the area. As you visit these stops, you will undoubtedly discover other places that peak your curiosity.

So, the cooler temperatures in Autumn create the perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy better air. Tree Time Adventures is an ideal experience when temperatures drop. Nestled in the woods of Prince George County, Tree Time is hot and muggy in Summer with plenty of bugs. Navigating this tree top high-ropes course in a safety harness is less laborious in the Fall. Challenge yourself on one of three separate courses ranging in difficulty from easy to advanced. Ziplining through the trees is also a great way to get up close and personal with the changing leaves. Nearby James River Wildlife Refuge is also less, well, summer-y this time of year. Located in wetlands connecting to the mighty James River, the refuge has several miles of trail loops perfect for an Autumn stroll. It is a wildlife refuge, so you may encounter deer, foxes, turtles, eagles, great blue heron, and ospreys, among other critters. Be sure to respect the wildlife! After all, that is the point of a wildlife refuge. To protect the habitat of the animals calling this place home, dogs are not allowed, an important note to consider. If colder water is no deterrent, there is a canoe/kayak launch on site. On the opposite end of Prince George County is another hidden gem for those seeking to get outside. Appomattox River Regional Park also has several miles of trail loops along the banks of the Appomattox River. While you can see a lot of wildlife here, it is not a National refuge and thus, less strict concerning what you can and cannot do. You can bike, hike, or run these trails, and there are also grills available for a BBQ. The canoe/kayak launch is top notch, so bring your boat and paddle to explore a more narrow section of river. Historic sites are also ideal places to explore when things cool down and there is a constant threat of rain. Appomattox Manor at City Point was the site of Ulysses S. Grant’s headquarters during the Siege of Petersburg. The house is managed by the National Park Service and part of Petersburg National Battlefield. The house is open for tours, but you may want to check the Park Service website for updated hours. In any case, the grounds are open to the public from dawn till dusk and provide view overlooking the James and Appomattox Rivers. Picnic baskets highly recommended! ### Live Music There’s just something about Fall that screams live music and we’ve got plenty of it. One of the main draws to our region is the historic Beacon Theatre, which draws global talent and some big names you’d likely recognize. Johnny Rodriguez, Graham Nash, Roger McGuinn, and the Commodores are merely a few of the famous acts to grace the stage at the Beacon Theatre, with multiple shows every month, the Beacon Theatre is a must-visit attraction for locals and visitors alike. Weston Manor is not only a beautiful historic home with lovely grounds. It’s also home to Historic Hopewell Foundations concert series overlooking the Appomattox River. Every Sunday in September, Weston hosts live music on the lawn ranging from country and R&B to rock n’ roll. It’s a great time to be outside for a show, so bring your lawn chair or blanket and a cooler full of your favorite beverages and enjoy the music. Saucy’s BBQ has also turned into a live music destination thanks to the Hopewell Bluegrass Jamboree, a monthly event with a jam open to the public after the show. Regional Bluegrass acts, like Josh Grigsby & County Line and Mill Run whip up some old timey sounds at the hottest BBQ joint in town. Grab a pulled pork sandwich and a craft beer while tapping your feet to some classic bluegrass. Don’t forget to bring your instrument so you can jam with the band and other guests. You never know who’s going to show up. ![](https://www.visithpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Kurt-Crandall-4-scaled.jpg "Kurt Crandall & Band → Visit Hopewell / Prince George VA") ### Warm Thoughts What’s more perfect on a cool, rainy day than enjoying your favorite warm beverage in a cozy space?

The food focuses on fresh seasonal ingredients while showcasing small local farms. Next, head to Haley’s Honey Meadery for a tasting of their delicious mead.

And don’t forget to try their charcuterie boards, a perfect complement to the mead. With so much to see and do, Hopewell and Prince George County are the perfect summer destination. Don’t miss out on all the fun! # **Activities:** # Appomattox River Regional Park ![Paddle Battle](https://www.visithpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Kayaking-Tourism-212.jpg "Paddle Battle → Visit Hopewell / Prince George VA") [Appomattox River Regional Park](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/appomattox-river-regional-park/) in Prince George County, Virginia, is a beautiful destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to spend time in nature. The park offers three miles of hiking trails, a canoe/kayak launch, and excellent fishing opportunities.

With miles of waterfront along the James and Appomattox Rivers, the water is kind of a big deal around here. There are numerous places to launch your boat, whether its got an engine or paddle powered. Prefer to keep your feet dry? Land lubbers can enjoy miles of trails to explore. Air sign? Maybe a zipline through the trees will get your blood pumping. Read on, adventurer.

There’s a place to paddle for any experience level, from novice to seasoned veteran.** **The best canoe and kayak launch is at [Appomattox River Regional Park](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/appomattox-river-regional-park/). At the entrance to the park, follow the signs for the kayak/canoe launch, which is at the bottom of a windy gravel road through the trees. The launch offers a ramp for sliding your boat down the steep embankment, as well as a dry dock with rollers to assist you getting in the water. Because the water is also calm and relatively shallow, it’s also suitable for paddle boarding. From here, you can paddle West upriver where the water is more narrow, or East where things open up a bit. Be on the lookout for muskrat, bald eagles, ospreys, and occasionally, sturgeon. You can also put your boat in the water at the [Hopewell Marina](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/hopewell-city-marina/) or [Jordan Point Marina](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/jordan-point-marina/), but they are designed more for motorized craft rather than canoes and kayaks.** **But, I don’t have my own canoe or kayak? No problem. Check out [Eco Trek Adventures](https://appomattoxboatharbor.com/eco-trek-adventures) at Appomattox Boat Harbor and rent one! They have boats to rent and even guided tours of the Lower Appomattox River. Call or text ahead for hours and availability.** ### Boating & Fishing **The James River is renowned for it’s fishing (just ask the eagles and ospreys). Big bass, monster catfish, gar, and sturgeon roam these waters. If you don’t have a boat, there are plenty of places to fish from the shoreline. [Appomattox River Regional Park](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/appomattox-river-regional-park/), [Weston Manor](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/weston-manor/), [Hopewell Marina](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/hopewell-city-marina/), [City Park](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/hopewell-riverwalk/), [Old City Waterfront](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/old-city-point-waterfront-park/) Park, and [Jordan Point Marina](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/jordan-point-marina/) all have fishing pier or places to cast from the riverbank. If you’ve got a motor boat and want to get to the really good fishing spots, you can launch from [Appomattox Boat Harbor](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/appomattox-boat-harbor/), [Hopewell Marina](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/hopewell-city-marina/), or [Jordon Point Marina](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/jordan-point-marina/). Call ahead for current ramp fees.** **We can’t tell you where the BEST fishing spots are. Otherwise, well, you know… BUT, there are some top notch anglers that can! [Fish Tales](https://www.facebook.com/FishTales2HopewellMarina/) at Hopewell City Marina and [James River Tackle Company](https://www.jamesrivertackleco.com/) can point you in the right direction, as well as outfit you everything you need to hook a big one.** ![](https://www.visithpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Fishing-26.jpg "Fishing on the James → Visit Hopewell / Prince George VA") ### Trails & Hiking **If a day on the water is not your thing, there are plenty of other outdoor spaces to enjoy where you can hike or bike. The [Hopewell Riverwalk](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/hopewell-riverwalk/) is a great place for a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk. Part of the regional [Appomattox River Trail](https://folar-va.org/access-points/), a project of the Friends of the Lower Appomattox River (FOLAR), the Riverwalk is 3/4 of a mile long. There you can watch ospreys fishing, eagles flying, and some of the best sunsets around.** **As mentioned above, [Appomattox River Regional Park](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/appomattox-river-regional-park/) is a great place to walk, run, or bike. Appomattox River Regional park offers over 65 acres of pristine woods on the Appomattox River. It features over 3 miles of hiking trails, birdwatching, picnic pavilions, an observation pier, fitness trail and restrooms. Pick up a trail map at the Hopewell/Prince George Visitor Center.** **A little more remote is the [James River National Wildlife Refuge](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/james-river-national-wildlife-refuge/). The large refuge contains several trail loops with many excellent wildlife observation points. They also have a canoe/kayak launch, but it is not yet open to the public. Bear in mind when visiting this park dogs are not allowed.** ![](https://www.visithpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Sabrina-ARRP-2-scaled.jpg "Appomattox River Regional Park → Visit Hopewell / Prince George VA") ### Tree Time Adventures **If none of this sounds exciting to you, we’ve got a gem you don’t want to miss. You may remember mention of a zipline in the introduction. That’s part of the high ropes adventure course at [Tree Time Adventures](https://www.visithpg.com/attractions/tree-time-adventures/). Located in the beautiful hardwood forest of Prince George County, the outdoor adventure park and fitness center offers three high-ropes obstacle courses and zip-lines, including a stand alone zip-line. Visitors can also walk two nature trails with a third under construction. Recently, they also opened a brand new kids zone if you’ve got the little ones in tow.

The trail is not built on a former railroad, but the half-mile segment in downtown Richmond is rail-with-trail, hence its rail-trail designation. The southern end of the trail is known as the Greensprings segment and begins near the Jamestown Settlement, which provides a unique glimpse of early American history and culture. The trail continues northwest to SR 5, passing Revolutionary War battlegrounds and a 40-acre wooded wetland and wildlife area along the way. The Chickahominy Riverfront segment seamlessly picks up at the intersection of SR 5 and Greensprings Road (SR 614) and travels to the Chickahominy Riverfront Park, where trail-goers will enjoy majestic views of the James and Chickahominy Rivers. The trail crosses the Chickahominy River on the Judith Stewart Dresser Bridge, which includes a 10-foot wide path separated from traffic by a divider. The trail’s Sherwood Forest segment begins on the western bank of the river, continues along SR 5, and passes the Sherwood Forest Plantation for which it is named. President John Tyler lived in the estate in the mid-1800s and, although the Tyler family still owns the home, the grounds are open to the public. This section ends at the Charles City County Courthouse, a one-story brick building dating back to 1730 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Continuing west from the courthouse, the Charles City County segment passes many colonial plantation homes, including the Berkeley Plantation (just off Harrison Landing Road). It’s the ancestral home of U.S. Presidents William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison. The New Market Heights segment runs near the Shirley Plantation, where the mother of Confederate General Robert E. Lee was born. Dating back to 1613, it’s the oldest plantation in Virginia and a National Historic Landmark. The building is located about 3 miles west of the trail on the banks of the James River and is open daily all year except on major holidays. The Park Phase forms a 3.5-mile horseshoe away from State Route 5, which the majority of the trail so closely follows. This deviation allows the trail to connect to Dorey Park, a popular spot with many recreational amenities, including a playground, sports fields, tennis courts, disc-golf course, picnic areas, a nature trail, a fishing pond, and an off-leash dog park. The Varina segment runs by Henrico County’s Four Mile Creek Park, a wooded outdoor gem with a canoe launch for accessing the creek. The community is named for Varina Farms, a plantation established by early English settler John Rolfe, who married the famed Pocahontas. The Richmond Riverfront segment, at the northern end of the trail, parallels Dock Street through Shockoe Bottom, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. It begins at the Canal Walk and ends at Great Shiplock Park, which commemorates the canal lock built here in the 1850s. ### Parking and Trail Access Amenities for the various sections of the trail are available as follows: - Greensprings: Park at the Jamestown Trailhead off SR 31, which also has restrooms and picnic tables. - Chickahominy Riverfront: In Williamsburg, park at Chickahominy Riverfront Park (1350 John Tyler Memorial Highway) or Jamestown High School (3751 John Tyler Highway) during non-school hours. Restrooms and picnic areas are available in the park. - Charles City Courthouse: Park at the Charles City County Visitors Center (10760 Courthouse Road); restrooms are also available here. Another trail parking lot is available farther north, where SR 5 crosses Herring Creek. - Park segment: Parking is available at Dorey Park (2999 Darbytown Road). - Varina: Parking is available at Four Mile Creek Park. - Richmond Riverfront: Park at Great Shiplock Park (intersection of Pear and Dock Streets).

Open by appointment or chance. **Content:** About Ed Hatch Fine Art Studio: The luminous work of Ed Hatch is so connected to his subjects, so rooted in his environs, that one feels an immediate sense of place and wonder. Ed, a full-time artist for more than 20 years, centers his life at the same country crossroads where he grew up – Prince George County where his great-grandparents opened a general store in 1915. This charming setting is now his studio. Across the street is the house where his father lived, and a stone’s throw away is his childhood home where he lives. An acute observer, Ed’s home base is that ideal spot for exploration and discovery – whether it’s the creeks nearby or the mountains further afield. He gently, yet powerfully conveys his curiosity, finding the extraordinary in the ‘ordinary.’ Above all, his appreciation for beauty in nature springs from each of his works.

The cemetery received its name from the town City Point which was in Prince George County before being annexed by the City of Hopewell in 1923. At the confluence of the James and Appomattox rivers, City Point was a vital transportation center for railroads such as the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, and was a well-established inland port on the James River and Kanawha Canal at the onset of the Civil War. City Point’s transportation advantages and proximity to Richmond, the longest-enduring capital of the Confederacy, led Union General Ulysses S. Grant to establish a supply depot for his army here.
