Please check local regulations for: Richmond National Battlefield Park
Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Two key historic sites are located here: Chimborazo Hospital, the largest hospital camp of the Confederacy, and Tredegar Iron Works, the Confederacy's primary ironworks. The park commemorates the capture of Richmond, which was a major turning point in the war and preceded the surrender of Robert E. Lee by just one week.
