Third Winchester Battlefield Park

The Third Winchester Battlefield Park is composed of more than 600 acres of preserved land. The Third Battle of Winchester, fought on September 19, 1864, was the largest and costliest battle ever fought in the Shenandoah Valley. More than 54,000 men fought and over 8,600 became casualties in a ferocious see-saw struggle that saw the Confederates gradually forced back until a final decisive attack by Federal infantry and cavalry struck the Confederate left flank, breaching the defenders’ lines, and sending the Confederates “whirling through Winchester”.

The park includes over 6 miles of walking trails and more than 30 interpretive markers and monuments that tell the story of that fateful day.
