| PAGE 2 PART III, LINE 1: ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT SVBF? THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY BATTLEFIELDS NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT WAS ESTABLISHED BY CONGRESS IN 1996 AS AN IDEA AHEAD OF ITS TIME AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME. THE DISTRICT WAS ESTABLISHED AS A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP A FEDERAL ENTITY TO BE MANAGED IN PERPETUITY BY A PRIVATE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY BATTLEFIELDS FOUNDATION. THE GENIUS OF THIS MODEL IS THAT IT COMBINED THE MISSION AND OPERATIONAL DIRECTIVES OF TRADITIONAL UNITS OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM WITH THE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THIS ALLOWED FOR THE BUILDING OF MORE ROBUST PARTNERSHIPS; THE GENERATION OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PRIVATE FUNDING; QUICK REACTION TO PRESERVATION OPPORTUNITIES; AND BUSINESS SYSTEMS THAT ALLOW FOR LEAN AND COST-EFFECTIVE OPERATION. UNLIKE NATIONAL HERITAGE AREAS, THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY BATTLEFIELDS NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT WAS TASKED WITH PURCHASING AND PROTECTING IN PERPETUITY LARGE SWATHS OF OPEN SPACE AND HISTORIC SITES. IN ADDITION TO PROMOTING AND GENERATING HERITAGE TOURISM LIKE TRADITIONAL NATIONAL HERITAGE AREAS, THE DISTRICT WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE DIRECTLY FOR THE EXPERIENCE OF VISITORS MORE LIKE A NATIONAL PARK. TRAILS, INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE, AND VISITOR CENTERS ALONG WITH ORIGINAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMING AND PARTNER SUPPORT WERE ALL ENVISIONED AS PART OF DISTRICT'S UNIQUE MODEL. IT'S A MODEL THAT'S WORKED AT A FRACTION OF THE COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN COMPARED TO MORE TRADITIONAL NPS APPROACHES TO BATTLEFIELD MANAGEMENT AND INTERPRETATION. |
| PAGE 2 PART III, LINE 4: PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS | ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY BATTLEFIELDS FOUNDATION HAS FACILITATED THE PRESERVATION OF OVER 8,000 ACRES OF CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELDS AND TODAY WE MANAGE 4,887 ACRES. THE SVBF HAS INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED OVER 10 MILES OF INTERPRETIVE AND RECREATIONAL TRAILS; DESIGNED AND INSTALLED A DISTRICTWIDE SYSTEM OF HISTORIC MARKERS; PRODUCED VISITOR'S GUIDES; DRIVING TOURS AND WAYFINDING AIDS; PUBLISHED ORIGINAL HISTORIES AND INTERPRETIVE BOOKLETS; AND PROVIDED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMING TO YOUTH AND ADULTS ALIKE. THE LANDS MANAGED BY THE SVBF HAVE PROVIDED OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR VISITORS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS AND HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED WITH AS MUCH CONCERN FOR THE NATURAL RESOURCES THAT THEY CONTAIN AS THE HISTORIC RESOURCES THEY PROTECT. THE SVBF HAS OPENED SIX VISITOR ORIENTATION CENTERS, ONE BATTLEFIELD VISITOR CENTER, AND A MUSEUM; PRESERVED COLLECTIONS OF ARTIFACTS, RARE BOOKS, LETTERS, DOCUMENTS AND FURNISHINGS; AND OPENED BATTLEFIELD PARKS, RESTORING MUCH OF THEIR 19TH CENTURY APPEARANCE WITH HISTORIC FENCING, CANNON AND VEGETATION. THE SVBF INTERPRETS AND PROVIDES VISITOR SERVICES AT 20 CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELDS AND HUNDREDS OF RELATED HISTORIC SITES THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY, INCLUDING MAJOR SITES AT MCDOWELL, CROSS KEYS, FISHER'S HILL, CEDAR CREEK, AND SECOND WINCHESTER, THE 600-ACRE THIRD WINCHESTER BATTLEFIELD PARK AND THIRD WINCHESTER VISITOR CENTER, SIX INTERPRETIVE TRAILS, AND THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY CIVIL WAR MUSEUM. INTERPRETIVE PROGRAMS INCLUDE CONFERENCES, TOURS, MAJOR EVENTS, INTERPRETIVE MARKERS, DRIVING TOURS, BOOKLETS, FILMS, PANELS, SIGNAGE, AND EXHIBITS. SVBF EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS SERVE PRE-K THROUGH COLLEGE AGE YOUTHS WITH ON-SITE, INTERACTIVE, AND IN-SCHOOL INITIATIVES, PRINTED AND WEB-BASED RESOURCES, AND SUPPORT FOR HOME SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. |
| PAGE 2 PART III, LINE 1: PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS | WHAT IS THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT? THE VALLEY'S NUMEROUS BATTLEFIELDS AND RELATED HISTORIC SITES ARE MAJOR HERITAGE TOURISM ATTRACTIONS. THE CONSULTING FIRM OF TRIPP UMBACH WAS RECENTLY RETAINED BY THE HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP TO MEASURE THE ECONOMIC, EMPLOYMENT, AND GOVERNMENT REVENUE IMPACTS OF OPERATIONS AND RESEARCH OF 5 NATIONAL HERITAGE AREAS INCLUDING THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY BATTLEFIELDS NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT. TRIPP UMBACH STATED OUR HISTORIC DISTRICT GENERATES $293.2 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT, SUPPORTS 3,930 JOBS AND GENERATES $20.4 MILLION IN TAX REVENUE. THESE NUMBERS WILL ONLY GO UP WITH THE PROJECTS PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE |
