See where The Harvard Regiment--the 20th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry--fought its first battle of the Civil War. Stand where future Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. ('61) was wounded. Hear the story of a daring escape across the Potomac led by Captain William Francis Bartlett ('62).

For directions to Ball's Bluff, go to the website of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority at www.nvrpa.org.  Battlefield Parkway now goes all the way north from Route 7 for those arriving from Tyson's on Route 7 West.
 

Meet us at the circle at the park entrance before the gravel road begins for what a club member last year called " the best civil war walking tour he had ever taken."

This is a walking tour; wear shoes with socks not sandals.

This is a perfect family excursion and children of all ages are welcome to attend
