User:Stonewall80/Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation

The Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation has been working since 1988 to create, on the lands where the 1864 Battle of Cedar Creek was fought, a memorial to the courage and devotion of the men who struggled there, and an educational resource for all people interested in their American heritage. The Foundation currently owns 308 acres located in the core area of the Cedar Creek Battlefield.

While the lands of the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation are located within the Cedar Creek Belle Grove National Historic Park, the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation continues to operate independently as a non-profit organization.

The mission of the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation is to acquire, protect and preserve the lands and physical objects relating to the Civil War Battle of Cedar Creek, and to interpret them for the educational benefit of scholars and the general public.

The annual reenactment of the Battle of Cedar Creek, the 3rd weekend in October, typically draws 4,000 or more particpants.
