Park rangers recommend setting aside most of a day to explore Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park.

If you have 1 hour or less:

• Chat with a park ranger to plan a future visit
• Walk the grounds at Belle Grove Plantation
• Roadside pull-offs along the Valley Pike (U.S. Highway 11) offer quick scenic views of the battlefield

If you only have 1-2 hours:

• Get oriented at the NPS Visitor Center
• Tour the 1797 Manor House

If you have all day:

• Tour Cedar Creek Battlefield
• Walk the Morning Attack Trails or 19th Corps Trails
• Attend a ranger-led program
• Visit our partner museums

If you have multiple days:

• Drive Skyline Drive at Shenandoah National Park
• Visit other battlefields and museums within the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District
