Contacts:

Notes: McDowell 2005 will be a major preservation effort to help the
community restore the George Washington Hull House, purchased with preservation money and the future site of a museum interpreting the battle of McDowell (an opening battle in Jackson's 1862 Valley Campaign) and serving as a cultural heritage center for the highlands. The event will emphasize living history/interpretation of the site.
McDowell has been a model partnership between a history-conscious community and the living history community, and is the only Civil War reenactment/living history listed as a Library of Congress Local Legacy Event.
