Comments on: Yet Another Stupid Development Threat to the Brandy Station Battlefield https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=1942 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: J Lowery https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=1942&cpage=1#comment-39099 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 05:54:08 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=1942#comment-39099 I love this idea. I have stood on this very precious piece of American history, (the property which will be near to, but not disturbed by)the proposed Culpepper Crossing project. To stand at this site, is to truly feel the rich history of America, and how richly we have been blessed by so many who sacriiced their lives for our freedom. The trenches echoed the voices of these selfless soldiers. History itself never spoke to me from textbooks. To create an environment which could bring together the pieces of American history that lay seemingly fading only into textbooks or stashed behind velvet ropes, would breathe new life into the younger generations ability to absorb the true history of America. An interactive, attainable attraction for families to explore together, and also enjoy! Its not Disneyland, not fantasy, but the beginning of us. An opportunity to feed the minds of the future what so many of these soldiers desired, for not only themselves, but for generations to come. The attractions will rehabilitate the already disturbed area, and preserve the historical land that Robert Currier, Sr. held so dearly all those years, knowing the value was much greater than a new Superstore or highway.

I am a 26 year high-school teacher who lost his job. I
have thought in the past of a similar idea but lack the
capital to do what you are doing. Please contact me
at jwkosik@comcast.net if I could be a part of your great idea.
Sincerely,
Jim Kosik

The terrain has been totally altered by 9 seperate owners the freeway and such. That is why it is the perfect spot. Please call me and visit site, it will help you decide, no matter how you may think afterwards. Thanks love to meet on site.

While I respect that you think that there is some tourist value to what you’re trying to do, you will never, ever persuade me that this particular piece of ground is appropriate for what you propose to do. Trying to put this thing on pristine battlefield ground is an astonishingly bad idea, and I frankly am shocked that Ms. Kilpatrick has given it her approval. She was wrong, and so are you. I beg you to reconsider.

Eric

Then explain all the developement in Brandy Station and Remington at least 99% that are just plain crap, and looks like everyone ran out of money, taste and function all at the same time. Then executed poorly.
That is why Culpeper Crossing is needed.,, This area and its heritage deserve better,

Why not build a visitors center interpreting the fall campaigns of 1863 between Lee and Meade? I mean these are very neglected battles and skirmishes between the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac. Build a interpretive center about Bristoe Station, Rappahannock Station, and Mine Run instead of building a fictional Civil War village.

Robert Currier Sr. was a class of 1940 UVA Law School graduate and an officer in WWII. Robert Currier Jr. is a direct decendent of Lord Thomas West, and a distant relative of R.E.Lee. Its a shame to read an article like this, what would your reaction be if your family was attacked like this. Mr. Hall is way off base.The project is being designed under the supervision and resources of the Dept.Of Historic resources, and is meant to exhibit, enhance and attract Civil War buffs worldwide, it will also employ over 150 people, stage reenactments, etc. This is a worthwhile project.

Williamsburg, after all, is a restoration of pre-existing historic buildings and a reconstruction of buildings that were originally there. Here, though, we have a case of putting old-looking buildings on historic ground, which hardly seems like a good idea.
