Junior Ranger Program

Come be a Junior Ranger! Fun-filled learning adventures in history! If you are between the ages of 4 and 13 ask for a Junior Ranger activity booklet at any of the visitor centers at Richmond National Battlefield Park. You have a choice of two programs: one for the Tredegar visitor center and another for the battlefields.  We suggest that you set aside 1.5 hours to complete either of the programs. Once the activities are completed you will receive a certificate with a badge or patch to display with pride!

All materials are provided free of charge.
