163) Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park

Visited: Sunday, September 8, 2024

The less well known an NPS site is, the more interesting it's likely to be.  I had no knowledge of the battle of Cedar Creek going in to our visit, and through the efforts of the ranger there - our personal guide, since no one else visited while we were there - I have a good understanding of the battle and how it impacted the US (more than I would have thought).  The auto tour is interesting, even if I couldn't get the NPS app audio to work.  And we had to leave before Belle Grove opened - be sure to check the hours for Belle Grove to get the full experience.  Recommended even without Belle Grove, though.
