Echos of the past —

Follow the path of our forefathers along the historic Staunton to Parkersburg Turnpike (US 250). Little has changed since the road was completed in the 1840s, linking the Shenandoah Valley with the Virginia frontier and the Ohio River Valley.

Union soldiers followed the Turnpike eastward, marching on the village of McDowell in May 1862. Stonewall Jackson routed Federal troops during the Battle of McDowell, marking the first victory of his hard-fought Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Come trace the movements of the soldiers who fought and died on nearby Sitlington's Hill.
