National Battlefield Parks

[BrighamBB]

Our national parks include battlefields from the past.  They are the subject of historians visits and family picnics.  Many people learn that in peace these landscapes offer beauty and rest.  Surrender Field, Yorktown Virginia

You wrote, "Many people learn that in peace these landscapes offer beauty and rest"

I agree with you. In an effort to preserve the historical nature of these places, the government has left them prisitine.

.Once you get away from the gift shops, they are some of the prettiest places in our country.
