I find it quite interesting that Stafford, the town most of us can't wait to get out of, was home to about 120,000 troops during the Civil War. Since the Civil War had such a great impact in the shaping of America, it's nice to know that our small town held a role in dealing with our conflicts of the time period. It's a fantastic idea to preserve a campsite to tell of the soldiers' lives. For future generations to keep learning of the struggles and triumphs of the average soldier is a promising thing. C.T. Park Inc willing to donate the land was not only generous, but moving. Wanting to pass on the knowledge of our country was inspiring. The Stafford Board of Supervisors had a fairly easy dealing with C.T. Park Inc. It's exciting to learn new things about our humble county. People underestimate what Stafford has done besides earn the title 'business district'.
