The Battlefields Foundation has been working to preserve this small parcel in the Town of Toms Brook since 2017. Thanks to those of you who donated to this project, as well as the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the Shenandoah County Conservation Easement Authority, the property is now forever preserved!
Though not large in terms of acres, this project represents the Town of Toms Brook’s continued interest in being a “battlefield town.” They would like as much land around their town preserved and opened to the public as possible and are anxious to develop Tom's Brook Battlefield into a battlefield park and destination tourism site. This strategic parcel is core battlefield and a part of the field where Merrit’s Federal horsemen moved to attack Confederate cavalry on the heights to the south. Tucked along the creek and adjacent to the Valley’s historic rail corridor, this parcel will be an important future connection point for a battlefield interpretive trail.
