The remediation of the Lake Troilo damage had to have cost him several hundred thousand dollars, and he’s tired of the constant sniping. It’s not a huge surprise.

]]>This looks entirely winnable and as Eric so ably stated, few places if any have the pedigree of these particular slopes. Does anyone know why this guy is suddenly selling?
It would be a pleasure to see that house demolished.

Tim,
Thank you for your message – and for sharing the realtor information about the property. We share your concern about the vital need to preserve this hallowed ground.
We have been in communication with the landowner as well as preservationists in the Culpeper area. It is our sincere hope that we can forge an agreement with the landowner to purchase this property and add it to the nearly 1,800 acres of battlefield land preserved by the Trust at Brandy Station.
As you can imagine, we cannot discuss ongoing private discussions with landowners to acquire land.
But rest assured – we are on it!
Again, thank you – and thanks for your membership in the Civil War Trust!
Best,
Jim
This is too important an issue and opportunity to leave in the hands of the BSF and hopefully CWT will jump on it. I’m sure you will keep us all informed on that and other fronts, and for that we all say thank you. In the meantime,maybe you could do a post to let everyone know how to go about joining BSF and, more importantly, the process for voting the current board out. It would seem the old-fashioned democratic approach of change is going to be called for since I seriously doubt the present board will, unlike R.E. Lee, offer their resignations for the greater good.
In any event, I will certainly offer whatever support I can. Even if I didn’t care about Brandy Station, which as you know I do care very deeply, anyone who has ever spent more than five minutes with Bud Hall owes it to him to do whatever they can for this property he has spent so many years battling for. I know Bud wouldn’t want me or anyone else saying that, but true is true and facts are facts.
Regards,
Keith
