Richmond National Battlefield Park

Tredegar Iron Works is the starting point for your visit to Richmond National Battlefield Park
The center of Confederate manufacturing fueled a modern war, one of the South’s largest hospitals gave care to the sick and wounded, and armies battled on open fields and in miles of defensive earthworks. From 1861 to 1865, Richmond’s fate would determine America’s future.
