In this photograph of the upper level, the first building (beyond the long, damaged, brick wall) is the Pattern Building, housing the N.P.S. Visitor Center.  (P4)
The main entrance to the N.P.S. Visitor Center, into the second floor of the Pattern Building, is from the upper level. The third floor has a museum reflecting the war from Richmond's viewpoint and the 1st floor has a movie describing the battles around Richmond in 1862 and 1864. At this time, there are no fees associated with any of the Richmond NBP locations.  (P4)
Inside the main entrance (on the second floor), at the Map Room, Park Rangers will introduce you to the battlefields that are part of the Richmond National Battlefield Park system and provide you with tour information for the Tredegar Iron works and the other park facilities (Beaver Dam, Cold Harbor, Gaines' Mill, Chimborazo Medical Museum, Glendale, Malvern Hill, Fort Harrison, Drewry's Bluff, Parker's Battery, etc.). The cannon in this photograph (produced at Tredegar in 1863) is used by the Park Rangers to demonstrate loading and firing procedures to the thousands of visitors and students who come to the park each year. In the background, to the right, is the Eastern National Book Store.  (P5)
