Belle Grove Contrasts

Historical Marker and Foundation

Ready for a Wedding 
flowers and fabricWhen we visited Belle Grove last weekend, it was set up for a wedding. The festive decorations were in contrast to the history of the property, which was once part of a Civil War battlefield. This is in Middletown in the lovely Shenandoah Valley.

  5. That would be interesting to visit...but I'm really not so keen on the idea of a wedding taking place on a battlefield...historical or not.

  7. Bullet holes from battle and a wedding are quite the contrast--but a sign that beauty can come from ashes. What a lovely place.
