If you have been before, it might be a good time to go back. The new Visitor’s Center, just opened in April 2008, is absolutely amazing. Really detailed, interactive, easy to follow. Even if you’re new to Civil War history, it’s extremely helpful.

Also, if you’re an enthusiast and can afford $65 a person, take the horseback riding tour. It is well worth the money and fun. A great way to see the southern battlefield.
