Cedar Creek and Belle Grove
Middletown, Strasburg, VA
Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park will work in partnership to commemorate a nationally significant Civil War landscape and antebellum plantation by sharing the story of Shenandoah Valley history from early settlement through the Civil War and beyond. Throughout the area there are historic, natural, cultural, military, and scenic resources. In addition, the park will serve as a focal point to recognize and interpret important events and geographic locations within the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District.
Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park was created on December 19, 2002. The park encompasses approximately 3,500 acres across 3 counties and includes the key partner sites of Belle Grove Plantation, Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation Visitor Center, and a developing Shenandoah County Park. The partner sites will continue to be owned and operated independently allowing such activities as the annual Battle of Cedar Creek Reenactment to continue within the park boundary.
The park’s enabling legislation stresses the importance of working in partnership as families, businesses and others will continue to live, work, and play within the park boundary. Overtime, the park may work with willing sellers and interested families to protect the remaining historic and natural landscape for future generations. Strong community involvement will be critical to plan the new park over the next several years.
