Southern Gateway to the Shenandoah Valley: A preserved 1800s village, an abandoned canal, and two C&O railroad towns
Valor of VMI cadets made the difference during the Battle of New Market
The Saturday battle will be held at 2 p.m. on May 18 with a reenactment of the Second Battle of Winchester; the Sunday battle that begins on May 19 at 1:30 p.m. commemorates the famous battle that had been fought on what is now the New Market Battlefield State Historical Park. The Battle of New Market played a significant role in Civil War history. Union General Ulysses S. Grant wanted to attack the Confederacy on several fronts, and one of them was in the Shenandoah Valley. |
Thousands of Civil War reenactors are expected to take part in the 149th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of New Market, on May 18-19 at the Virginia Museum of the Civil War in New Market, Va. The event is the oldest battle reenactment in the nation, and one of few held on the original site.HOME | Events | Legend of Shenandoah | Oh Shenandoah | Visit the Valley | Mobile
