A friend and I are going on a Civil War tour this fall. We'll stop at Gettysburg, Antietam, South Mountain, Monocacy, and Harper's Ferry.
If you ever get a chance, the battlefields at Perryville, Fort Donelson and Shiloh are wonderful. Too far off the beaten path for most tourists, these battlefields are still in quite pristine condition.

My husband is a Civil War buff. He is continuously reading one book or another by various chroniclers. I think that he wants to make our next excursion to Virginia.
If it hadn't been for a trip through Pennsylvania when I was fourteen, I would never have been so passionate about Civil War history.
