Review & FAQ:

Manassas is best known as the site of the Manassas National Battlefield Park, which was home to two seminal Civil War battles in 1861 and 1862.

Visitors can explore the park's lovely visitor center, which showcases exhibits such as a fiber-optic battle map and showings of the 45-minute documentary Manassas: End of Innocence.

Guided tours of the battlefield are offered by park rangers, or visitors can explore the battlefield themselves via the 1.1-mile Henry Hill Loop Trail.

The park's Brawner Farm Interpretive Center and historic Stone House are open seasonally, showcasing additional exhibits on 18th-century life.

In the city's Old Town district, visitors can attend performances at the Hylton Performing Arts Center.
