Today the Cross Keys and Port Republic battlefields retain much of the agricultural appearance they had during the battles fought here in June of 1862. While the City of Harrisonburg has continued to expand toward these sites and development pressures have mounted, the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation and its partners have worked to preserve over 1,500 acres across both locations. The Battlefields Foundation and its Members continue the work to preserve these battlefields, open additional park space, expand interpretation and enhance the visitor experience.
You, too, can help preserve and interpret the battlefields of the Shenandoah Valley.
