Reviews
"Great actual site of the world famous Battle of Lost Shoes for the VMI Cadets "Ghost walk on the battlefield. Awesome Halloween experience."
"Great battlefield right off I-81. It's not got a lot of information, but I think they are in the midst of re-doing some of the exhibits. A nice trail path around the battlefield though provides a great walk to stretch the legs."
"Truly incredible to stand out in the field where the battle took place. The whole area feels so sad and quiet as many lives were lost here.."
"A great stop for civil war enthusiasts. Lots of hand on experiences. The place is huge and highly recommended if you'd like to take a hiking tour too."
"Looks like a nice place, but we didn't want to pay the $10 for the museum and grounds ticket (must buy together) so we hung out on the grounds in front. Nice open space with benches and rocks. Essentially a classic rest stop for us."
