Battlefield Preservation Effort Provides Access to Historic Site

On the brisk morning of April 23, 2013, Shenandoah University embarked on its newest venture­­ — the preservation and protection of land along the Shenandoah River integral to the July 18, 1864, Battle of Cool Spring. These 195 acres of land, now known as the Shenandoah River Campus at Cool Spring Battlefield, were acquired by the Civil War Trust in 2012. Under the stewardship of the university, the land will now transition from a former golf course into an outdoor classroom for the university community and general public.
