Petersburg

Most visitors associate Petersburg with the closing days of the Civil War. Rightfully so. Petersburg experienced the longest siege of any American city -- ten long months. The city has been a strategic center of commerce, trade and transportation since before the Revolutionary War. Residents -- including the largest free-black population of any American city -- enjoyed one of the best lifestyles of any industrialized city in the South. Experience their stories as you visit their homes and churches, explore museums, and walk the battlefields of Petersburg.

Weston Manor

Visit this elegant 18th-century plantation home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Notable for preserving much of its original interior, Weston Manor's guided tours include three floors furnished in period antiques and reproductions.

Appomattox Plantation

Appomattox Plantation is part of the City Point Unit of Petersburg National Battlefield. From June 1864-April 1865, General Ulysses S. Grant directed the Siege of Petersburg from the grounds of this historic riverfront plantation home.
