  • Shenandoah Valley BATTLEFIELDS FOUNDATION
    Shenandoah Valley BATTLEFIELDS FOUNDATION 2012 ANNUAL REPORT THE CIVIL WAR SESQUICENTENNIAL With our regional mission and national reach, the Foundation has taken the lead in coordinating and promoting Sesquicentennial programs in the Valley, as well as presenting flagship events of our own... “A Wind From the Mountains”: 150th Anniversary of Stonewall Jackson’s Valley Campaign, 1862-2012 From the beginning of the Sesquicentennial, the 150th Anniversary of Stonewall Jackson’s 1862 Valley Campaign was seen as a once-in- a-lifetime opportunity for the Shenandoah Valley. During 2012, the Battlefields Foundation and its partners took full advantage, presenting a series of 40 programs that followed along with the historical events of the campaign, and in the paths of the armies that crisscrossed the Valley – giving each site its chance to shine. There were programs of all types, from large-scale reenactments to quiet memorials, focusing on the stories great and small. Eric Campell Tour The commemoration was bookended by two major SVBF events, a March 3 conference, Perspectives on Stonewall Jackson’s Valley Campaign, and the closing event on June 9, “If This Valley is Lost”: Preserving the Legacy of Stonewall Jackson’s Valley Campaign. In between, visitors were able to “walk in the footsteps” of the campaign: the stone wall at First Kernstown, Jackson’s headquarters at Miller-Kite, Sitlington’s Hill at McDowell, the last Union stand at Front Royal, the path of the Louisiana Tigers at First Winchester, Bank’s Fort in Strasburg, Turner Ashby’s death site in Harrisonburg, the 8th New York’s repulse at Cross Keys, and the Coaling, where the campaign came to a furious climax at Port Republic.
