Monument to the north and the south, placed by the veterans of the 128th New York Volunteer Regiment, dedicated October 15, 1907. This monument is located at Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park in #Virginia. This park was authorized on December 19, 2002 to protect several historically significant locations in the Shenandoah Valley of Northern Virginia, notably the site of the American Civil War Battle of Cedar Creek and the Belle Grove Plantation. The Battle of Cedar Creek was fought October 19, 1864 and resulted in a Union victory. The authorized boundary of this park covers over 3,700 acres but much of the land is privately owned. This park is a partnership park, with much of the land owned by nonprofit preservation groups, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield Foundation, Belle Grove Plantation, and the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation. Approximately 1,500 acres are owned by the park's partners. The @nationalparkservice currently owns about 90 acres of land at the park. #va #vahistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #nps #nps101 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #explorevirginia #FindYourPark #optoutside #cedarcreek #bellegrove #nationalhistoricalpark #civilwar #battleofcedarcreek #battlefield #battle #landscape (at Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park)
