Manassas, Virginia, is located near Alexandria and 95 mi/150 km north of Richmond.
Besides a stop at the Battlefield Park, site of two major battles of the Civil War (The First and Second Battles of Bull Run), a visit to Manassas isn't complete without a visit to Old Town. Renovated storefronts and an immaculate attention to detail reveal why Manassas was the winner of the 2003 Great American Main Street Award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Highlights include an arts center housed in a renovated candy factory and the 1914 train depot that now serves as the visitors center.
