Get ready to tune in to the Travel Channel tonight.
Tonight at 9 p.m. the Travel Channel will be airing an episode of ‘Mysteries at the Monument’, which features the Manassas National Battlefield.
Each episode looks at a location or a monument and explores the history and stories behind it, according to the show’s host Don Wildman.
“Manassas National Battlefield – site of the great battle of Bull Run, if you’re a Yankee – Manassas if you’re Southern…The story is really a question about ‘How does this happen’ so early in this war, when the Union just thought it would trounce the Confederates. How did the opposite happen at Manassas? This [episode looks at] the story behind that battle, which is so important, because it kind of launched the rest of the long war,” said Wildman.
According to Wildman, there’s a lot more to the story of what happened at the Manassas Battlefield, than a tourist visiting might hear about.
“We look at these complex stories that are behind the scenes, like what happened at Manassas Battlefield, and that’s the point behind this show. There’s always more than meets the eye,” Wildman said.
Wildman shared memories about visiting battlefields, including Manassas National Battlefield, growing up.
“I used to go to battlefields all the time as a kid, and [Manassas] was one of the big ones we went to…that’s the real value of the show for me. That families of all ages watch these stories together and it takes me back to that experience,” said Wildman.
