Lees Confederate Command Post.Small little area up a trail of about a twenty minute hike.Theres a few plagues, and small structure that has a fair amount of information, lined with a couple of cannons in the direction of Lees vantage point.A pretty incredible place to stand, especially, because it is here in which Lee was nearly struck down by a Confederate cannon that had exploded. Think, of the consequences of such an incident, but it was not to be. Not yet our time, gentlemen. Not yet our time...A great place to simply stand and feel the historic atmosphere.Viewpoint, is obstructed by overgrowth. I wish it was somehow more of the view of what Lee and his commanders would have actually seen, but, nonetheless this spot is worth the walk and stop.
Great place to get a lot of history on the position chosen to be Lees observarion position over watching his victory at Fredericksburg.
A nice 20 minute hike round trip. Decent wooded view from the top.
Short walk but fun
Great for Civil War buffs. Google maps may take you to the wrong place. Lees Lane had a small roadside parking area. 20 to 30 round trip walk to the top of Lees hill. Good signage on the battle. Stop 3 on the driving tour.
1 of many places to learn about the civil war
The view over the hill is incredible. The woods are peaceful and the wall up and down the hill are amazing.
I love this place and how the history is preserved here still
Interesting part of the overall Civil War tour, a bit of a climb if you are out of shape. Not a whole lot to see once you get to the top.
It was okay, trail was scuffed but there were cute animals.
Very beautiful park! Loved the 20 min round hike!
Love history. Very nice.
Civil War Battlefield, with great interpretation!
I advise you drive the entire road & read 2 learn what took place..All history is important bad or good..Some people have forgotten Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy & this state & country was forged by the American & Civil war...
A short .25 mile trail leads to this point of interest atop a hill from which Robert E. Lee commanded his army during the Battle of Fredericksburg. The site (a part of the Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania NMP) offers preserved earthworks, interpretive outdoor maps and exhibits, as well as the vantage point from which Lee witnessed the repeated Union advances at the famous Sunken Road.
What a pleasant surprise!Sign says 20 Minute Hike, roundtrip, up- and downhill
Very neat place to check.out.
Great addition to stopping at the Fredericksburg National Cemetery
Cool place
Nice short walk and the pavilion has a bunch of info on the Battle of Fredericksburg
Cannons!!!
Worth the walk up the hill.
