      Historic downtown area of Staunton, Virginia. In the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Staunton, VA. - the Queen City on the Great Wagon Road between the Blue Ridge and the Alleghenies - offers old fashioned Americana at its best. Staunton has one architectural advantage over most of other small towns in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia: it escaped the Civil War unscathed. Many of its 18th and early 19th century homes and buildings still stand and are wonderfully preserved.

Edward 'Allegheny' Johnson, constructed this fortification about 1 Apr. 1862 to protect the Shenandoah Valley, the 'Breadbasket of the Confederacy.' Federal troops briefly occupied the fort after he withdrew to West View near Staunton later that month. With Maj. Gen. Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson's Army of the Shenandoah Johnson's command confronted Union forces under Brig. Gen. Robert H. Milroy and Brig. Gen. John C. Fremont at the Battle of McDowell on 8 May. Johnson's ankle was shattered during this first victory in Jackson's famous Valley campaign.'
