Enjoy an online tour of Civil War sites from across the country that are overseen by the National Parks Service. This time, our tour guide is Andrew from James A. Garfield National Historic Site. (Click here to watch part one of the tour.)

Our tour extends beyond some of the familiar battlefields to include locations like Harper House, Andersonville Prison Park, Mclean House, and Mott House, as well as locations that were important to reconstruction like the Tuskegee Institute and Nicodemus National Historic Site.
