Manassas National Battlefield Park

Historic sites

Brawner's Farm, where the opening phase of the second battle occurred, has a parking lot off Pageland Lane at the western edge of the battlefield and has been renovated into a museum dedicated to the Second Battle of Bull Run. Battery Heights, off Lee Highway, is where Confederate batteries deployed to fire on attacking Union troops at nearby Brawner's Farm. Matthews Hill, off Sudley Road, marks the opening phase of the first battle. The Unfinished Railroad Grade, off Featherbed Lane, is where Jackson deployed his men before the second battle after capturing Pope's supply depot.

The Deep Cut, also off Featherbed Lane before reaching the Railroad Grade, is where Pope launched the bulk of his attacks against the Grade. Groveton, an extinct Civil War-era village off Lee Highway, retains only the small frame house that Lucinda Dogan lived in, with a Confederate cemetery nearby. Hazel Plain, the plantation of the Chinn family directly across from the Henry Hill Visitors Center, now sits in ruins with only the foundation remaining.

Chinn Ridge, across from Hazel Plain, was the site of General James Longstreet's massive counterattack during the second battle; a trail leads to a boulder for Union Colonel Fletcher Webster, son of orator Daniel Webster, who was killed leading a failed attempt to repulse the Confederate counterattack. Portici, the plantation of Francis Lewis now in ruins, served as Confederate Headquarters during the first battle, with minor skirmishes between companies occurring on the surrounding plains.

Robinson House, now in ruins after arson in 1993, was the home of free black man James Robinson and is accessible only by walking on the Henry Hill Loop Trail.
