The battle - one of the longest land battles of the eight-year-long war - was a terrible fight over farm fields and woods and ended up costing the lives of hundreds of men and boys, most of whom are still buried in unmarked graves near where they fell. No sign-up required; those interested should meet at the Freeman Farm parking lot (stop 6); the tour will last for about one hour.
