Richmond National Battlefield Park is one of 390 parks representing important examples of our country's natural and cultural heritage. Each unit of the park is identified by distinctive brown signs, and each is interpreted by National Park Service historical markers.

Whenever possible, spend some time walking in each of the thirteen park areas; it is the best way to understand the battlefields.   Many of the sites have short self-guided trails that take you past historical features, such as earthworks and structures. Some of these resources are extremely fragile. Help us to preserve them for future generations by staying on the designated trails.
