Fought in Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley, the May 15, 1864, Battle of New Market won lasting fame for 257 Virginia Military Institute cadets, who helped a pick-up group of Confederates turn back a Union offensive.
New Market Battlefield State Historical Park director Scott Harris narrates this nine-stop walking tour.
“Scott brings an intimate knowledge of the battlefield and a gift for storytelling to this tour,” says Don Pierce, CivilWarTraveler.com editor. “He brings this dramatic story to life.”
