This year, for "National Kids To Parks" Day the public is invited to partake in a self-guided Junior Ranger Scavenger Hunt.

We welcome you to join us at Sailor's Creek Battlefield for a day of remembrance at our annual Memorial Day program. This year at 2:00 p.m. we will have a special service at the Visitor Center in memory of those who have served in the armed forces. We will have special music, a presentation giving an historical overview of Memorial Day, a period observance from mid-19th century clergy, an honor guard, rifle salute, and much more.

Park staff and volunteers will cleanup trash and debris along the Adopt-A-Highway portion of the Battlefield where rain runoff and debris deposits into Sailor’s Creek and its tributaries, which affects the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

The Overton-Hillsman House has a deep and rich history. On going research has led to new discoveries and we are excited to start sharing them with the general public.

We welcome visitors to join a battlefield historian for a guided hike as we explore some of the lesser known aspects of the battles along Little Sailor's Creek. Find out about General Richard Ewell and his command, along with General Horatio Wright and their overwhelming victory. Hikers will hear stories from primary sources, eye witness-accounts, Medal of Honor recipients, and will find out what the Federal Army did with all of the prisoners and casualties following the engagement.

Join us for our 3rd Annual Pollinator & Nature Festival.

The local Crewe Astronomy Club will bring their hi-tech telescopes and amazing video presentation about our planet, our solar system, and our universe to the visitor center on Saturday, August 6, 2022 at 8 p.m. Learn about the constellations, gaze upon planets in our solar system, see close-up views of the moon's mountains, observe far off nebulae and galaxies.

We invite visitors to join us for a guided hike with your canine friend.

Veterans and their sacrifices are important to us here at Sailor's Creek Battlefield.  We invite visitors to join the staff for our annual Veteran's Day Luminary commemorative event to honor all those who have served our nation's military, past and present. At dusk, rangers will lead the groups of visitors down an illuminated path where historical vignettes will be recreated by historians describing the scenes from the Battles of Sailor's Creek and its aftermath. This year we will highlight a new trail on a section of the battlefield that we have never used before.
