The Wilderness Battlefield does not have a visitor center. The exhibit shelter on Route 20 is a good place to start. Be aware that the shelter is unmanned except during the summer and on weekends in the spring and fall. There are no rest rooms on the battlefield. Click here for more information on visiting the Wilderness Battlefield and click here for information on the Battle of The Wilderness.
The Wilderness Exhibit Shelter is located on Route 20 about 2 miles south of the intersection of Route 3 with Route 20. The address is: 35347 Constitution Highway, Orange, Virginia 22960. This is a street address, not a mailing address. If you are coming from I-95, take exit 130 West. Drive west approximately 12 miles to a traffic light at the intersection with Route 20. You will pass the Chancellorsville Visitor Center where you might want to stop for information and rest rooms. Turn left and proceed about 2 miles. The shelter is on the right.

Did You Know?
Chancellorsville is Lee's greatest victory, but also a Pyrrhic victory. After the battle Lee was very depressed. His army gained no ground, his army lost a much higher percent, his army failed to achieve their objective (destruction of the Union army) and they lost Stonewall Jackson.
