Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park

Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park spans 3,700 acres of preserved land containing historical buildings, battlefields, and agricultural landscapes in northern Virginia.

The Battle of Cedar Creek on October 19, 1864, resulted in a Federal victory that influenced the outcome of the Civil War in the Shenandoah Valley.

Belle Grove Plantation, built in 1797, presents Federal style architecture and contains exhibits about the lives of plantation owners and enslaved workers during the 1800s.

Visitors can explore the park through a 17.5-mile self-guided driving tour with nine stops, examining Confederate attack positions and military earthworks.

The National Park Service manages this site in partnership with private landowners, as more than half of the park's acreage remains under private ownership.
