Bring your camera along and celebrate Earth Day with a Park Ranger on a Nature Photography Hike down the Edgewood Trail just behind the Visitor Center here at Staunton River Battlefield State Park. The Edgewood Trail can be a great place to look for various wildlife, as this trail runs alongside various wetlands, by the river and forests that could be inhabited by turkeys, otters, ducks, and the occasional Bald Eagle!

Come to Staunton River Battlefield State Park and learn the basics of archery! This class will teach you the basics of how to properly hold a bow, correct stance, how to aim, and most importantly, how to be safe while doing so.

Join our staff for a guided tour of Mulberry Hill, the plantation home of Judge Paul Carrington, Virginian and Founding Father. Mulberry Hill was a working tobacco farm owned by the McPhails during the American Civil War and was used by Union General Wilson as his headquarters during the 1864 cavalry raid into Southside Virginia.

Fortifications throughout the Civil War came in many shapes and designs, using a small sand table and a few plastic figures, a ranger will demonstrate how a few select forts were constructed, the various terms and techniques that were used to describe defenses and how the forts themselves could be defended using plastic figures.
