Then head west to the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park and its four major battlefields: Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House. You'll need at least two days to take it all in, so plan to spend at least one night in a city hotel, inn or bed and breakfast (call the Fredericksburg Visitor Center for complete lodging information).
