Combined, these 48 acres of hallowed ground at Cedar Creek and Cedar Mountain in Virginia have a transaction value of $939,153 — nearly $1 million. Thanks to a combination of state and federal grants and major gifts, each $1 you give will be multiplied by a factor of $29!
The first tract of this preservation opportunity consists of 3 acres at Cedar Creek, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, the site of the savage, bloody battle that Confederate and Federal troops both won and lost in the same day. Both sides saw victory and defeat within the same battle. It’s also one of the most threatened battlefields in America.
The second tract is 45 acres at Cedar Mountain, in the Virginia piedmont, where Confederate General Stonewall Jackson rode into the heart of the battle to rally his faltering troops ... and when his rusted saber refused to come out of the scabbard, Jackson wielded it, scabbard and all, to turn the tide of battle.
This land is also targeted by both residential and utility-scale solar developers — just imagine this piece of history lost forever, buried under modern, close-set, single-family houses or baking beneath endless rows of solar panels!
Please help the American Battlefield Trust do that with your most generous gift right away. Remember, each $1 you give will be matched and will have the impact of an incredible $29 multiplier.
