Commemorating the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, and the

Shenandoah Valley played significant roles

during the American Civil War. Harrisonburg

was at the crossroads of two major highways:

the Valley Turnpike (modern-day Rt. 11) and

the Rockingham Turnpike (modern-day Rt. 33).

The city was also located about 25 miles north

of a huge Confederate rail and supply center in

Staunton. At the time, Rockingham County was

one of the most prosperous agricultural counties in the nation. The region including Harrisonburg and Rockingham County was

known as the “The Breadbasket of the Confederacy” resulting in a prime location for the struggle between Union and Confederate

forces. Make Stonewall Jackson’s Valley Campaign your personal history getaway with thirty trail sites within a 20 mile radius. Some

trail sites include the Turner Ashby Monument, Court Square & Springhouse, The Coaling, and Woodbine Cemetery. Civil War trail

sites include two battles fought in the Shenandoah Valley-Cross Keys & Port Republic. See where General Turner Ashby lost his life,

where a hospital housed wounded soldiers, and where General Nathanial Banks led the Union in the burning of the Shenandoah

Valley. Pick up your copy of the new “Battles on the Home Front” driving tour map and brochure at the Hardesty-Higgins House
