History at Sunset

July 15, 2022 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park presents a series of special “History at Sunset” programs. These ranger-conducted presentations cover a variety of subjects and provide visitors an opportunity to see sites normally not open, or widely accessible, to the general public.

Explore and learn about some of the “hidden gems” of the park and the Shenandoah Valley. Each program is free and lasts between 90 minutes to two hours.

“Sabers & Surprise:” Col. William Payne’s Confederate cavalry at the Battle of Cedar Creek
Friday, July 15, 2022 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Meet at the NPS Visitor Center, 7712 Main Street, Middletown, Virginia.

Leading the Confederate attack across the Shenandoah River on 19 October 1864, Col. William Payne’s cavalry battalion silenced Federal pickets and drove toward Belle Grove Plantation. Join Ranger Rick Ashbacker to follow Payne’s advance to six locations and discover why Payne was only partially successful.
