🛸 BIRD'S-EYE VIEW: The Encampments from Above! ⛺
Take a look at this stunning drone footage capturing the Union and Confederate encampments stretched across the hallowed ground of Brandy Station Battlefield!

Last weekend, approximately 1,000 dedicated re-enactors traveled from all over the country to participate in the largest Civil War re-enactment this battlefield has hosted in over a decade. Seeing the rows of authentic white canvas tents and campfires from the air truly puts the magnitude of the 165th Anniversary of the Battle of First Manassas into perspective.

For our visitors, these wasn't just a display—it was an immersive portal to the past. Spectators got to walk right through these authentic period camps, talk with the soldiers, witness daily drills, and experience living history up close.

Between the camps, the thundering battlefields, and the bustling Sutler Village—where 19th-century merchants and craftsmen showcased period fashion, leatherworks, and hand-forged iron—it was a weekend where history truly came alive.

Stay tuned for more close-up photo galleries and videos! 🎬📸

When the Park Rangers at the new Culpeper Battlefields State Park want a deeper look into the history, they know who to call! 🌲🎒

Today, our exceptional guide, William Treuting, led a special, half-day, in-depth tour for the rangers to help expand their insight into the Battle of Cedar Mountain. William didn't just stick to the main paths—he took them off the park campus to weave together the complete story of the battle's beginning and end.

The epic route included:

The Prelude: Starting in Orange, VA, to discuss the Battle of Orange Courthouse and the strategic importance of Gordonsville.

The March: Stopping at Woodberry Forest, Locust Dale, and Crooked Run Baptist Church to trace the Confederate approach and early cavalry skirmishes.

The Battle & Beyond: A comprehensive tour of all preserved tracts of the Cedar Mountain Battlefield, followed by a visit to Col. Charles Crittenden's grave at Divine Life Church, and concluding exactly where Willie Pegram made his famous stand.

We love collaborating with our park partners to keep this history alive and accurate. Want the same deep-dive experience as the rangers? We're offering this longer tour option in the future so contact us to book your tour with William today!

🇺🇸 HONORING THE FALLEN: A Memorial Day Tribute 🕊️
On this Memorial Day, as we share these powerful video moments from the recent 165th Anniversary of the Battle of First Manassas re-enactment at Brandy Station, our hearts are focused on the true meaning of this sacred day.

While our weekend on the field was a display of living history, education, and community, it serves as a solemn reminder of the immense cost of freedom. The smoke, the thundering artillery, and the rows of canvas tents point back to a defining era when hundreds of thousands of Americans gave what President Lincoln called "the last full measure of devotion."

Today, we pause the history lessons and the tactical breakdowns to remember, honor, and mourn the brave men and women who laid down their lives on battlefields both home and abroad to preserve our nation.

We are incredibly grateful to live in a community that deeply values the preservation of this hallowed ground, ensuring that the sacrifices made here—and across our history—are never forgotten.

To all who have served, and to the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice: America remembers.

"Precious shall be their memory in the land they died to save." 🇺🇸

🛸 HISTORY FROM ABOVE: The Encampments at Brandy Station ⛺

Check out these incredible aerial drone shots of the Union and Confederate camps from last weekend! Seeing the canvas tents stretched across the landscape truly puts the scale of the 165th Anniversary of First Manassas into perspective.

An event of this magnitude requires an army of its own—more than a thousand dedicated re-enactors traveled from all over the country to live on these grounds and recreate history.

We are incredibly grateful to the American Battlefield Trust for owning and protecting this hallowed ground, ensuring it remains pristine for events like this. It’s an exciting time for our community, as this historic acreage will eventually be incorporated into the future Culpeper Battlefields State Park, preserving these open spaces and stories for generations to come!

This is just a tiny sneak peek of the bird's-eye views we captured over the weekend. We are hard at work processing the footage, so keep your eyes on our page—more epic battle videos and photo galleries are coming your way soon! 🎬📸

🐎 CAVALRY AT BRANDY STATION! 🐎

Check out this video of the cavalry demonstrating their historic maneuvers for the public before the big battle re-enactment of First Manassas!

If there’s one thing our spectators absolutely loved this weekend, it was getting up close with these magnificent horses and seeing the skill of the riders.

It is only fitting to see such a turnout here—after all, the Brandy Station Battlefield is the historic site of the largest cavalry battle ever fought on the North American continent! Seeing these riders maneuver across the very same hallowed ground where thousands of horsemen clashed in June 1863 adds an entirely new layer of meaning to living history.

We have a mountain of footage and battle shots from the 165th Anniversary of First Manassas weekend currently in production. Stay tuned—the full photo and video galleries will be dropping soon! 💣📸
