Manassas, Virginia, is located near Alexandria and 95 mi/150 km north of Richmond. Manassas is best known for its historic Battlefield Park, site of two major battles of the Civil War (The First and Second Battles of Bull Run).
Besides a stop at the Battlefield Park, a visit to Manassas isn't complete without a visit to Old Town. This town is highly dedicated to preservation, with renovated storefronts and immaculate attention to detail, best seen on Main Street. Highlights include an arts center housed in a renovated candy factory and the still active Historic Manassas Train Depot, built in 1914, that also houses the visitors center.
