BOTH SIDES TOUR VI
Civil War Sesquicentennial Event
March with the Troops to First Manassas!

Follow the footsteps of Union and Confederate troops as they converge on Manassas for the first major battle of the war 150 years ago. We'll start at Fort Lyon and follow General Heintzelman and his Union Forces up what is now Franconia Road on his way to the battlefield. Then, we'll go to Thoroughfare Gap where Stonewall Jackson and his Confederates passed through the Blue Ridge Mountains on the way to a decisive victory. After lunch, we'll gather on the actual battlefield.

Start the day at 8 a.m. with coffee, donuts at the Franconia Museum, 6121 Franconia Road. Board a comfortable rest-room equipped motor coach for the trip to the local Union Fort and then west to meet Jackson and his men as they march from the Shenandoah Valley. Enjoy a buffet lunch at the Golden Corral Restaurant in Manassas and then proceed to the nearby Battlefield Visitors Center to view artifacts and information before reliving the battle on the actual site.
