Amazing drive along the road that dissects the battlefield. Monuments everywhere with a story to tell. Hard to imagine how dumb this war was for the United States. Thoroughly worth a visit if you are… Full review by John W

Didn’t do that one, there is a pre recorded that was good
The website says the park is closed to vehicles after 5 but open for walking. Is there walking access to areas of interest in the park - in other words, what can a visitor see after 5 pm? I plan to have some time in the park the next morning but would enjoy some evening time, too, if it’s available. Thanks, Chris Cordes
