Culpeper Battlefields State Park is a state park currently under development in Culpeper County, Virginia. The park was authorized for creation by Governor Glenn Youngkin on 21 June 2022 and is scheduled to officially open on 1 July 2024, although many of the sites were previously protected and are now open to the public.[1][2] It will be the first state park in Culpeper County and the northern Virginia Piedmont region.
The park will feature several disconnected battlefields where major engagements took place during the American Civil War, with primary focus on the Cedar Mountain battlefield, just south of Culpeper, and Brandy Station Battlefield, which took place northeast of the town. In addition, parts of the battlefields at Kelly's Ford, Rappahannock Station, and the Union winter quarters on Hansbrough's Ridge near Stevensburg will be included in the park.[3]
