Tour Features: Because the Bull Run Civil War Round Table has held many tours of the Manassas battlefields, the tour leaders chose to highlight sites near the battlefield that played a role before, during, & after the battle. A packet with maps and tour stops will be handed out the morning of July 16th.
Possible sites include (not in order): Blackburn’s Ford, Liberia, Ben Lomond Historic Site, Mitchell’s Ford, Signal Hill, Manassas Junction, Mayfield Fort and more.
