Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District

888-689-4545 | www.shenandoahatwar.org

The enchanting Shenandoah Valley became a valued pawn in this most uncivil war. To the embattled and hard-pressed South, the Valley was a land of plenty - this "Breadbasket of the Confederacy" was filled with grain, dotted with mills and linked by road and railroad with a main theatre of war across the Blue Ridge. Its ability to feed armies and its geographic location in relation to the opposing capitals - Richmond and Washington - made the Valley strategically significant.
