| National Historic District | During the Civil War, Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley was known as the ‘breadbasket of the Confederacy,’ providing grains and forage that helped sustain the Confederate army. In addition, the Valley saw significant battle action and served as a Confederate invasion route into the North. The Valley’s ethnically diverse population of farmers, craftsmen, and their families experienced the ravages of war as both armies vied for dominance of the region. The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District is a national heritage area that interprets the Civil War in the Valley and its impact upon the Valley’s citizens, communities, and landscape.
