Description
This program will examine images of the Cedar Creek Battlefield following the battle in 1864. Kyle Rothemich will use the first known images of the battlefield by the Biscoe Brothers in the 1880s to compare and contrast the 19th century landscape to today. Learn about the travelers who were some of the first visitors to the battlefield, and veterans who returned decades later through the images they captured. This will be a car caravan tour through the park as the program will take visitors to the spots where these images were captured. Moderate walking will be required. Meet at the Visitor Contact Station 7712 Main Street, Middletown Virginia 22645.
