Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits
The Blue Ridge Heritage Project is a non-profit organization whose mission is to build monuments to honor the people who were displaced by the creation of Shenandoah National Park. Eight counties from which mountain residents were relocated have monuments: Madison, Page, Rockingham, Greene, Rappahannock, Albemarle, Warren, and Augusta. Most of the monument sites include exhibits about the families. We invite you to visit these gateway communities and the beautiful monuments and learn about the people who sacrificed their homes for the establishment of Shenandoah. You can also learn more about this story at Byrd Visitor Center (mile 51).
The Warren monument is located at 460 E. Criser Rd., Front Royal, VA 22630
The Warren monument is located on the Happy Creek Trail, next to the Francis Burrell Brooks, Jr. Community Park. Use the parking lot for the park and follow the sidewalk about 200 feet east (toward the nearby bridge) to the paved Happy Creek Trail. Turn left on the trail, and the monument is just ahead on the left. Restrooms are available at the park’s picnic pavilion when it is open.
