Hike with an Historian:

Join Historian John Hennessy to track the dramatic events of the morning of July 21, 1861, from the first shots across Bull Run to the tumultuous fighting on Matthews Hill, beginning at the Stone Bridge parking area. We will alternately follow the footsteps of Union soldiers, as they cross Bull Run at Farm Ford, and Confederates, as they rush troops from the Stone Bridge to meet the Union onslaught on Matthews Hill. The hike will take us to the Stone Bridge, Farm Ford, Pittsylvania, the Matthews House site, and the landscape of Matthews Hill. On the return, we will stop at the Van Pelt house site. 

This is a hike of moderate difficulty, about four miles--most of it rolling, but with a significant climb out of the valley of Bull Run in the first mile.
