Introduction
Join us on our 9-day American Civil War Tour and visit some of the major battlefields of the War Between the States. Leading up to the surrender at Appomattox we explore the area known as ʺthe crossroads of conflict,ʺ from the site of the bloodiest single-day battle at Antietam, through the turning of the conflict at Gettysburg to the longest siege in American warfare at Petersburg. We visit both capitals of the period, Richmond and Washington, DC, and finish by paying our respects at Arlington National Cemetery.
Please note that the summer departure date for this tour has been moved from June 26-July 4 to July 3-July 11, 2019 due to a change in the scheduling of the annual Gettysburg anniversary and re-enactment. The information printed in our 2019 tour brochure shows the original date. The final and correct date is the one shown on the website.
