This 320-square-foot cabin may be the oldest building in Manassas, and is now open to the public

Restored by Grace United Methodist Church, it once housed slaves who worked on the Clover Hill Farm. The cabin, which measures only about 320 square feet, would have been intended for two families, and the slaves who lived there probably worked in the main house on the farm, which was about 400 or 500 feet away.

Restoring the slave quarters cost about $40,000, which included a new cedar-shingle roof, new doors and the acquisition of period furnishings, as well as historic reproductions such as a banjo made from a gourd.

May 15th was the 151st Anniversary of the Virginia Military Institute’s finest hour at the Battle of New Market. Two companies of VMI Cadets, many of them teenagers, were sent to help defend the Shenandoah Valley from Union troops led by the General Franz Sigel (an officer despised by his colleagues as a bumbling fool, but adored by the German immigrants under his command). At the height of the battle, VMI was sent in after several Confederate regiments pulled back after coming under heavy fire. They held off several attacks and led one of their own, the sheer violence and audacity of which caused the Union Army to panic and flee. Today, the battlefield is known as the “Field of Lost Shoes” after the Cadets lost most of their footwear in the mud.
