Very easy way to get a good idea of how these battles played out. Plenty of opportunity to get out of the car and explore more in depth if you wanted

This was one of the best battlefield tours we've done. The route is well marked and the park service has a great online app you can listen to. It's great to be able to sit and look over the area while the scene is being described. Would recommend.
