Manassas National Battlefield Park

The first major land battle of the American Civil War took place here in July 1861, as the relatively inexperienced armies of both sides fought what is now known as the Battle of First Manassas. Little more than a year later, battle tested battalions from both sides faced off in the Battle of Second Manassas.

The park is slowly being restored to yield a landscape similar to the one present in the 1860's. QOC has two orienteering maps in this park; the first, Chinn Ridge, is rarely used now due to park restrictions. The second map, Stuart's Hill, includes an area of wetlands restoration as well as a mix of open fields and woods.
