The Cedar Creek Visitor Center and Belle Grove Plantation are easily accessed via U.S. 11, especially if you are planning a visit to Shenandoah National Park anyway. The question you need to ask yourself is, am I willing to pay eight bucks for a house tour and then drive down the road and pay two bucks for a film and exhibit area, none of which are managed by the National Park Service?
Our answer at the time of our visit was “no” because we thought the Park was an Affiliate Site. We now know that Cedar Creek and Belle Grove are indeed considered a National Park Site so we’ve gotta go back. How can a place be a National Historical Park yet have zero Park-operated facilities? Good question. We’ll let you know.
