Preservation Opportunity: 23Acres
Brandy Station


A Momentous Deal to Secure a Crucial Part of the Brandy Station Battlefield
It was the largest cavalry battle of the Civil War. More than 20,000 cavalrymen from North and South clashed here at Brandy Station on June 9th, 1863. And now we have a chance to save 23 acres at the center of this great and important battlefield. Fleetwood Hill was not only the site of General JEB Stuart’s headquarters during the battle, but it has been described as the most fought upon, marched upon, and camped upon piece of ground in American history. We invite you to consider supporting our acquisition of this hallowed ground.
