Fort Collier

Civil War battlefield site on the north side of Winchester.

Fort Collier preserves part of the Civil War landscape around Winchester, a town repeatedly fought over because of its position in the Shenandoah Valley. The site is modest, but it marks ground connected to the Third Battle of Winchester and the valley campaigns.

It is best for travellers who are already following Civil War history rather than casual visitors looking for a polished attraction. Combine it with Winchester's other battlefield and old-town stops to make sense of why this small city mattered militarily.
