They close whenever apparently. When I showed up three other people came to mail items and the doors were locked, lights out at 12:20. Why not just change the posted hours?

I called today and was told there's nothing we can do but wait. Very helpful. I do not recommend this location at all because they do not get anything done. Send our package!! For the amount of money that was spent to even send this is ridiculous. We deserve better customer service than this.

Canceling things for no good reason at all, my guess is, they want a short work day.

This is a schoolhouse for ALC, SLC, new officers, they have the pre command course here also for new CSMs and Officers in Command roles. The school has a store or shoppette on every floor. The 1st floor has a subway, and bean bros coffee shop, they have muffins and bagels, there is a defac within walking distance in the auditorium building. If you don't want all that you can easily walk back to the hotel and eat and relax.

I visited the eastern front of the Petersburg National Battlefield last month while traveling back…read morefrom a Toyota dealership in the area. The battlefield has several sites in the Petersburg Virginia area including a western front, union and confederate forces encampment sites, remains of makeshift forts, storage depots and landing sites. The battlefield as a whole encompasses many miles in a circular pattern and you can either do a guided or self guided tour. It is well marked and mapped. The site as a whole was the longest siege of the American Civil War. Union forces began the siege in 1864 and it lasted nine months with many battles that resulted in victories for both sides. Petersburg VA at the time was a major hub for Robert E Lee's army with extensive rail lines and supply depots. It was also pivotal in the defense of Richmond which was the Confederate capital during the war. The eastern front battlefield is well preserved and also serves as a park which is managed by the National Park Service. There are walking and hiking trails as well as bike lanes. There is parking at each of the eight sites on the eastern front. Each site is well maintained and marked and it is quite educational. You could spend a few hours here exploring. Just a note, bring bug spray with tick repellent. Several of the sites I had to swipe a tick off my legs. It was a bit wet and it was very humid so the bugs were out in force. Overall it was a great experience. On the next visit I'll check out the western front which is roughly eight miles away on the other side of town.

Often overlooked but a hidden gem national park…read more Our national parks and battlefields are some treasured areas. This park is often in the shadow of others, but had long and bloody trench warfare. The history and earthworks are simply incredible! Definitely read about it and look up closure times before coming. (8pm during the summer and sunset/sunrise throughout the year) 33-odd miles of trails, good to recreate and the tour road is perfect for cycling/running.

They have some nice shops around and some very good places to eat. And this city has a lot of civil war history to share too. They also have some good fishing and boat ramps around the city. And if you are just passing thru they have plenty of hotels around so you can get a good nights rest. So if you are around these parts come check out Hopewell, it's a nice laid back city.

On the main property was a house of nice sized that was closed a barn where they appeared to allow special events and nearby a smaller place where Grant lived and his wife visited. It sat above the James Rivera and provided nice sight lines. The boardwalk/pier was well kept and again provided a nice wide view of the James River. If you want to have a picnic surrounded by great views, this is certainly a good choice. If you're looking for a glimpse of the past, there are many other places with much more to see than this location.
