Civil War sites
Conflict-era historical locations
Civil War sites are locations associated with the American Civil War (1861–1865)—battlefields, forts, cemeteries, and other places where significant events occurred.
The term appears most often in tourism and historic preservation contexts: We visited several Civil War sites in Virginia.
Many are maintained as national parks or monuments.
