Fun Facts!
In 1906, a Union General gathering for the dedication of the monuments to soldiers from New York said: “Old Mrs. Lucinda Dogan, who was in the house during the battles of both First and Second Bull Run, now eighty-nine years of age, white haired and wrinkled, was cheerful and communicative, her mental faculties apparently all unimpaired. Displaying a wonderful memory of incidents of those terrible times, this strong-faced, good-faced, lovely old lady chatted familiarly with me. Mrs. Dogan’s presence added greatly to the interest of the occasion.”
Steps from Mrs. Dogan's house, the Groveton Confederate Cemetery, established in 1869, contains over 500 Confederate dead in graves identified by state. The identity of only a few is known.
Manassas National Battlefield Park encompasses nearly 5,100 acres of land and includes more than 40 miles of hiking trails. The park has developed a series of loop trails that traverse key areas of the First and Second Manassas Battlefields.
