American History Comes to Life at Bristoe Station Battlefield

Whether you’re looking for a local oasis or want to play tourist for a day, Bristoe Station Battlefield is the perfect place. Located on Bristow Road, the battlefield spans an incredible 140 acres of land and played a key role in the Civil War. The land hosted many encampments throughout the war, and was also the site of the Battle of Kettle Run and the Battle of Bristoe.

As you walk around the park, you’ll come across various signage explaining the significance of the park throughout these times in our history. You may also download a podcast that will give you a guided tour of the land. (Between May and October, guided tours are offered three times daily for free.)

If you’re simply looking for a new place to do your morning walk, there are two trails open that offer over two miles of gravel paths through the wooded areas to enjoy.
