On Ball's Bluff Revisited Anniversary Canoe Trip river
tour, participants canoe into, and then hike across,
the Ball's Bluff battlefield where thousands of troops
from Virginia, Mississippi, New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts engaged in deadly, leaden conversation
in October of 1861. Caterers greet each group in the
middle of the tour and serve an authentic Civil War
era meal.

Groups traditionally set wreaths at the Battlefield
Cemetery, and in the Potomac, to honor the American battle
dead of the Blue and Gray. From Ball's Bluff, the tour continues
down the river along an eight-mile section of the Potomac,
to other sites that played a part in the battle. Logistics
in this section of the river are just as difficult today as
they were back in 1861… so, book early!
Join River and Trail Outfitters on this historical excursion
in an area rich in revolutionary, colonial, and Civil War
history with Harpers Ferry National Park, Antietam Battlefield,
and the C&O Canal National Park close at hand. Experience
living history on our guided history tours in Maryland, Virginia,
and West Virginia.
