Sec. 410iii-1. Findings

-STATUTE-
Congress finds the following:
(1) The Battle of Cedar Creek, also known as the battle of
Belle Grove, was a major event of the Civil War and the history
of this country. It represented the end of the Civil War's
Shenandoah Valley campaign of 1864 and contributed to the
reelection of President Abraham Lincoln and the eventual outcome
of the war.
(2) 2,500 acres of the Cedar Creek Battlefield and Belle Grove
Plantation were designated a national historic landmark in 1969
because of their ability to illustrate and interpret important
eras and events in the history of the United States. The Cedar
Creek Battlefield, Belle Grove Manor House, the Heater House, and
Harmony Hall (a National Historic Landmark) are also listed on
the Virginia Landmarks Register.
(3) The Secretary of the Interior has approved the Shenandoah
Valley Battlefields National Historic District Management Plan
and the National Park Service Special Resource Study, both of
which recognized Cedar Creek Battlefield as the most significant
Civil War resource within the historic district. The management
plan, which was developed with extensive public participation
over a 3-year period and is administered by the Shenandoah Valley
Battlefields Foundation, recommends that Cedar Creek Battlefield
be established as a new unit of the National Park System.
(4) The Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation, organized in 1988
to preserve and interpret the Cedar Creek Battlefield and the
1864 Valley Campaign, has acquired 308 acres of land within the
boundaries of the National Historic Landmark. The foundation
annually hosts a major reenactment and living history event on
the Cedar Creek Battlefield.
(5) Belle Grove Plantation is a Historic Site of the National
Trust for Historic Preservation that occupies 383 acres within
the National Historic Landmark. The Belle Grove Manor House was
built by Isaac Hite, a Revolutionary War patriot married to the
sister of President James Madison, who was a frequent visitor at
Belle Grove. President Thomas Jefferson assisted with the design
of the house. During the Civil War Belle Grove was at the center
of the decisive battle of Cedar Creek. Belle Grove is managed
locally by Belle Grove, Incorporated, and has been open to the
public since 1967. The house has remained virtually unchanged
since it was built in 1797, offering visitors an experience of
the life and times of the people who lived there in the 18th and
19th centuries.
(6) The panoramic views of the mountains, natural areas, and
waterways provide visitors with an inspiring setting of great
natural beauty. The historic, natural, cultural, military, and
scenic resources found in the Cedar Creek Battlefield and Belle
Grove Plantation areas are nationally and regionally significant.
(7) The existing, independent, not-for-profit organizations
dedicated to the protection and interpretation of the resources
described above provide the foundation for public-private
partnerships to further the success of protecting, preserving,
and interpreting these resources.
(8) None of these resources, sites, or stories of the
Shenandoah Valley are protected by or interpreted within the
National Park System.
