VLCF Funded Projects

Virginia’s working farms and forests, battlefields and other historic sites, natural areas, parks and rivers are critical to its economy, culture and quality of life. In 1999, the assembly and governor established the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation (VLCF) to fund protection of these resources. The interactive map below depicts VLCF-grant projects funded since 2000.

Description:	A grant for $155,439 in VLCF funds was awarded to Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation to protect this property located in the Town of New Market. The parcel is within the core area of the Civil War Battle of New Market (1864) and is distinguished by a circa 1882 historic frame dwelling that is a contributing resource to the New Market Historic District, which is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places. A 1.23-acre portion of the property is open space land that contains an historic dry-laid stone wall. SVBF intends to incorporate the property into a pedestrian greenway trail to provide a direct link between the Virginia Military Institute Hall of Valor Museum and the New Market Historic District, allowing visitors to follow the flow of the battle. The project protects an architecturally and historically significant site while also providing public access to a pedestrian greenway trail and encouraging heritage tourism along U.S. Route 11, a Virginia Byway.
