You can do it in an hour or less. There's also a small museum($4 fee I think)and film that can be seen in 1/2 hour to 3/4 hour. During the first week of October they do have a reenactment with some walking tours of parts of the battlefield. Whenever they have a national event that weekend it's a lot more fun plus a lot more rein-actors. If you are looking for a lunch spot Danville or Springfield have more options.
