The center of Confederate manufacturing fueled a modern war, one of the
South’s largest hospitals gave care to the sick and wounded, and armies
battled on open fields and in miles of defensive earthworks. From 1861 to
1865, Richmond’s fate would determine America’s future.

Presquile National Wildlife Refuge was officially established in 1953 for use
as an inviolate sanctuary, or for any other management purpose, for migratory
birds. It is an important stopover site to migratory birds as they travel up
and down the Atlantic Flyway. In addition, the 1,329 acre island refuge
provides protected breeding habitat for State-listed threatened and endangered
species, as well as many neotropical migrating bird species. Hundreds of
native plant and animal species thrive in the isolated wetlands, forests, and
grassland habitats.
