ALL-ACCESS BATTLEFIELD TOURS
Wheelchair tours to Civil War sites in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania
____________________________________________________________

     "Our goal is to make sure that visitors go where

     they want to go, see what they want to see,

     and experience what they want to experience."

 

 

Nestled on the banks of the Rappahannock River is the picturesque town of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Today it is referred to as “America's Most Historic City,” while the neighboring county of Spotsylvania is known as the “Crossroads of the Civil War.” Four battles took place here leaving behind acres of significant sites. ALL-ACCESS BATTLEFIELD TOURS (LLC) were designed especially for wheelchair travelers who wish to fully explore and experience these hallowed grounds. Our all-accessible individual or group tours take visitors, their families and friends directly to the sites while moving at their own pace. In order to provide a comfortable expedition, our visitors have the option to be transferred to our custom travel wheelchairs that feature special wheels and canopies. Media inquires: PRESS RELEASE.
