Sailor's Creek Battlefield Historical State Park

Sailor's Creek Battlefield State Park is a convert|321|acre|km2 park in Virginia. It includes a portion of the landmarked Sayler's Creek Battlefield, an area of convert|1022|acre|km2 that was the site of the 1865 Battle of Sayler's Creek in the American Civil War. It is also likely that some of the park is not included in the 4 separated parcels that were landmarked.

The park includes picnic tables and barbecue grills available for use. [ [http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/sai.shtml Sailor's Creek State Park ] ]

The park name appears to be a further misspelling of Saylor, a farmer after whose land the Battle of Sayler's Creek was named in 1865. Some official records such as those of the National Historic Landmark program refer to this park as being named the Sayler's Creek Battlefield State Park.
