WELCOME to Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National
Historical Park
Cedar
Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park became the 388th
unit of the of the United States National Park Service when it was
authorized on December 19, 2002.
The National Historical Park was
created to protect several historically significant locations in
the Shenandoah Valley of Northern Virginia. Areas protected by the
park include the site of the American Civil War battle of Cedar
Creek and the Belle Grove Plantation.
The National Park Service does not operate any facilities
within the park at this time. Much of the park remains under
private ownership and for this reason, most of the park is still
closed to visitors.
A visitor center operated by the Cedar Creek
Battlefield Foundation is open to the public at the battlefield
site. The Belle Grove 1797 plantation house, a National Historic
Landmark, is open to the public and operates independently.

During the Civil War, the Union victory in the Battle of Cedar
Creek likely contributed to the reelection of President Abraham
Lincoln.
