Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District

Fierce battles were fought across much of the nation during the Civil War. The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, in particular, saw some of the most significant action. Over 325 armed conflicts took place here--the city of Winchester alone changed hands over 70 times between 1861 and 1865.

Today, this historic landscape is increasingly threatened. To protect this national resource, the United States Congress created the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District in 1996 to ensure that future generations would be able to explore the Valley's Civil War heritage and more fully understand the impact of the Civil War on the American experience.
