Anderson Park
Anderson Park, located at the intersection of 16th Street and Oak Avenue in Newport News, VA, is a historic site that played a significant role during the famous Battle of the Ironclads on March 9, 1862, between the CSS Virginia and the USS Monitor. The park serves as a reminder of the area's rich Civil War history and offers visitors a glimpse into the past through its preserved earthworks and commemorative features.
In addition to its historical significance, Anderson Park is part of a broader initiative to explore and understand the archaeological heritage of the region, including the historic Warwicktown. Ongoing archaeological efforts aim to uncover artifacts and structures that reflect daily life in colonial Virginia, enhancing public knowledge and appreciation of the area's historical context.
