Let us introduce ourselves:
The Civil War Study Group at Lake of the Woods, Virginia, is dedicated to historical research, preservation, and education of the public on historic events in Orange County, Virginia and the surrounding area during the American Civil War. We have no dues, no membership roster, no requirements to attend meetings or volunteer for any of our projects. We hope you’ll join us in our mission to tell the story of the May 1864 Battle of the Wilderness, as well as other tales of the Civil War here in the historic Piedmont of Virginia.
