Visiting Petersburg

Arrange Petersburg rental cars before a visit to Petersburg National Battlefield and you can explore the park via 16 stops on a driving tour. Take in the most intriguing sites, such as General Grant's Cabin and a crater on the Eastern Front, a deep scar inflicted by a huge gunpowder explosion. The bloody strategic gain of the Battle of the Crater is well documented, but you'll gain a wrenching sense of its toll while standing at its rim, looking into the depths of the now-grassy basin. The park also includes 18 miles of scenic trails. Stroll a quiet, wooded path, listening to the carefree chirps of birds high in the trees, and remember that the natural beauty of the land always perseveres despite the trials and follies of man. Continue to Richmond and time travel to other eras in American history. Elegant colonial mansions, the diversely intriguing offerings of the Museum District, and contemporary bastions of southern cuisine await outside the doors of Richmond hotels. The pleasure of eating slowly barbecued pork will be an unforgettable treat to end your trip.
