Review:
The Kernstown Battlefield was the site of two decisive historic Civil War battles which took place on a farm belonging to Samuel and Helen Pritchard. The first battle took place in 1862 and the second battle in 1864; by the end of the Valley Campaign in 1864, much of the peaceful Shenandoah Valley had been left in ruins. Today visitors can come and visit the battlefield to learn more about these 2 key battles and the part they played in the Civil War. The Battlefield is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from April 23 through October 30th, and on the anniversaries of the 2 key battles. You can walk along interpretive trails and visit the 1854 homestead, museum and shop.
