Fodor's Review:

The history of City Point includes a Revolutionary War skirmish and 10 months as General Ulysses S. Grant's Union headquarters during the Civil War, from which he directed the Siege of Petersburg. It's free to take the open-air, self-guided museum walking tour of 25 wayside exhibits and Grant's Headquarters. The City Point Early History Museum is in a former U.S. Navy church, St. Dennis Chapel.

  • Cost: Museum $3, Weston Manor $5, combination ticket for Weston Manor and museum $7
  • Open: Daily 9-5; closed selected federal holidays
