Freedom Park has a rich historical background dating back to the 1650's.  This park is the site of an 18th-century graveyard, the Revolutionary War Battle of Spencer’s Ordinary (1781), a 17th Century domicile that is revealing much archaeological research of the early colonial period (1680-1730) and the Williamsburg Botanical “Ellipse Garden.” 

The Division continues to work diligently to preserve one of the nation's earliest Free Black Settlements in America, which include three historically accurate recreated cabins that are located in a meadow and are furnished with items authentic to the period (1803-1850).

This 689-acre forested retreat also features 1.8 miles of hiking trails and more than five miles of mountain bike trails winding through historical sites, forests and along creeks, open meadows, and parking.  Picnic tables are also available.

The park is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to sunset.
