Ball's Bluff
Canoe and Hike History Tour
Revisited Anniversary Guided
History Canoe Tour
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.
