Sailor's Creek Battlefield Historical State Park
Sailor's Creek Battlefield Historical State Park, Civil War battlefield state park in Rice, Virginia.
The 379-acre park contains multiple walking trails with interpretive signs that guide visitors through the locations of the 1865 military engagement.
On April 6, 1865, Union forces defeated Confederate troops at this location, resulting in the capture of over 7,000 Confederate soldiers.
The Overton-Hillsman House, constructed between 1780 and 1810, now functions as a museum displaying Civil War medical equipment and period furnishings.
The visitor center operates daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, offering exhibits of battle artifacts, ranger presentations, and access to seven marked trails.
The park includes the actual field hospital where both Union and Confederate soldiers received medical treatment during and after the battle.
