Join us on Saturday, November 1, for a Special Battlefield Tour to see the ground and witness buildings and preservation story at all Three Phases of Kentucky’s Second-Largest Civil War battle. 

 

You can either drive yourself to arrive before our 9 am start time at the Battle of Richmond Visitor’s Center, 101 Battlefield Memorial Highway, Richmond, KY 40475 (off I-75 Exit 83, the Buc-ee’s Exit) OR meet at 7:45 am to leave by 8 am in Lexington at Embassy Suites, 1801 Newtown Pike (our meeting place) if you would like to caravan and ride with other Members.  

 

Cost is $20 per person, with proceeds being split between KYCWRT and the Battle of Richmond Association. Park Curator Phillip Seyfrit will lead our tour and start with orientation and overview and then we will travel to the other key locations of the battle and conclude by 3 pm. Our event will happen rain or shine and will adjust activities accordingly. We will have a lunch stop at Sonny’s BBQ in Richmond (not included in the $20 Tour cost), which is on the route of march used by both armies on August 30, 1862.

We will have a signup list at our 9/22 meeting and you can pay $20 CASH ONLY at the meeting or Saturday morning.  You won’t want to miss this special tour!
