Port Republic battlefield can be viewed almost entirely from public roads with adequate signage and interpretive materials. The bottomland, where severe fighting occurred, is currently farmed. Easements could be sought or incentives provided to continue agricultural use on this portion of the battlefield. With adequate support, the site could serve as a public access point for the battles of Cross Keys, Port Republic, and Piedmont. Potential exists for public-private cooperation in preserving and interpreting three nearby battlefields.
Landscape is largely intact.
Agricultural preservation incentives are recommended. Pristine and scenic, the battlefield holds great potential for attracting visitors, who are interested in nature as well as history. The view of the Valley is well worth the arduous climb. Currently, there is no on-site interpretation, and this would need to be expanded. Interpretive assistance is required.
