Cedar Mountain Battlefield Foundation
Preserving and interpretating the historic Cedar Mountain Battlefield
A Virginia Land Conservation Foundation grant to the American Battlefield Trust will help preserve a 45-acre tract, site of an artillery duel critical to shaping the battle’s conclusion.
Due to the forecast for inclement weather Friday night into Saturday, Friends of Cedar Mountain Battlefield has decided to cancel our outdoor event Soldiers of Virginia, 1607-1945, scheduled for Saturday, October 30th. We hope visitors will join us for Soldiers of Virginia next year on October 29, 2022.

Activities will last around 30 minutes. Attendees should bring water, wear comfortable footwear and dress appropriately for weather conditions. The fee for each participating child is $5.00, to be paid upon arrival. In order to allow for social distancing, it is suggested that each child is signed up for a time slot.
