How many battlefields have you visited so far?

If tourists could have regimental colors, the following names would be embroidered on mine:

Gettysburg (been to in 1992, 1999, 2004, 2009, and 2011)
Antietam (summer of 2010)
New Market (summer of 2011)
Harpers Ferry (summer of 2011)

This summer I will probably visit some of the above again, and also plan to hit Fredericksburg/Chancellorsville.

Fredericksburg
Wilderness
Chancellorsville
Spotsylvania (More times than I can count for this and the above)
Antietam (Twice, most recently last year)
Gettysburg (Also twice, most recently several years ago however)
Harpers Ferry (Couple of years ago)
Petersburg (Last year for the first time in any detail)
Appomattox

Gettysburg (Also several times, as I live relatively close. It was really cool taking the boys two summers ago after they saw the movie.)
Antietam
Fredericksburg/Chancellorsville/Spotsylvania
Cold Harbor
Murfreesboro (I have family in TN. My plans to get to Shiloh this year fell through, though.

)

Edit: I forgot Appomattox

Nice list! Ohio is a great "central" location for eastern and western theater sites.

Very impressive lists gentlemen, particularly Rongo.

Thanks. The funny thing is that there is in fact a battlefield in Ohio, and I haven't been to it! (Yet)

I was just reading about Morgan's raid today Rongo.

Yes, it's a great story. I've been to the site where he surrendered, and to another site nearby where there was a small skirmish and where 3 of his men are buried. But I still need to get to Buffington Island, preferably for a reenactment.
