Warren County’s 175th Anniversary Planning Committee, in conjunction with the 75th Anniversary of the Warren County Courthouse, is happy to announce the unveiling of a commissioned painting by renowned artist Mort Kunstler. The work titled “On to the Shenandoah” is an action packed painting that captures Stonewall Jackson in front of the old Warren County Courthouse, pushing his troops through the streets of Front Royal to gain control of the strategic bridge over the Shenandoah River to cut off any Union advance to Winchester. This is the first print of a two part series honoring the contributions of Front Royal and Warren County to Stonewall Jackson’s Valley Campaign.
In 2011, Warren County will celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the County. As part of the celebration, a Planning Committee has been established to plan and execute the events of the celebration. The Committee is comprised of one representative from each election district, along with representatives from the Warren Heritage Society, Front Royal-Warren County Visitor’s Center, and Warren County government.
