Partridges are medium-sized non-migratory game birds. An partridge is intermediate between the larger pheasants and the smaller quail bird. They are sometimes grouped in the Perdicinae subfamily of the Phasianidae.
The grey and the red-legged partridge are popular game birds. They are mentioned in the first verse of the Christmas carol, “The Twelve Days of Christmas”.
When cooked partridges have a moist texture and mild flavour. These make a good introduction to English Game Meat for those people trying it for the first time.
The Shenandoah River nudges the old town’s southern edge, the foothills of the Alleghenies rise to the west, and the little Massanutten Range with its Civil War lookout peak, Signal Knob, is visible on the east. This is Strasburg, Virginia, conveniently situated 80 miles from Washington, D.C., at the intersection of interstates 81 and 66. When the town was settled in the 1750s, it could be reached via one road only—an ancient Indian trail adopted by Germanic settlers from the Rhineland and English-speaking Scots-Irish from Pennsylvania.
Settlers were drawn by the promise of land and by the valley’s fertile limestone soil. They counted on merchants and tavern-keepers along the way to provide food, lodging, and supplies. Strasburg was one of those stopping-off points, and the old Indian trail (which became the Valley Turnpike, the Old Valley Pike, and finally U.S. Route 11) was the conduit to points south and west.

With the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, life on valley farms became more productive. During the Civil War, in fact, the valley was dubbed the Breadbasket of the Confederacy. The region’s proximity to Washington and its ability to provide food and forage for the Rebel army made it, alas, a target for “The Burning,” a supremely destructive effort by Union forces under General Philip Sheridan to destroy such a rich source of supply. Barns, fences, and mills went up in flames as cattle, sheep, and horses vanished into Yankee camps.
Strasburg itself, however, escaped without the damage suffered elsewhere; a 1790s stone mill still stands at the south end of town. Several major battles were fought nearby, including those at Hupp’s Hill and Fisher’s Hill. The town is less than three miles from the site of the 1863 Battle of Cedar Creek.
The valley recovered after the War. By the late 19th century, Strasburg had turned its attention to small-scale manufacturing and commerce. In addition to traditional hand-thrown potteries, the town boasted a steam pottery, which was converted in 1913 into a busy little passenger railroad station. These days, the former station houses the Strasburg Museum, and the plaintive locomotive whistles in the night signal freight cars, not Pullmans.
Stone houses abound in the valley; this is the 1755 Hupp House, a Germanic gray limestone bank house in Strasburg.
Strolling about Strasburg’s two historic districts is rewarding; sidewalk views include 18th–century log and stone houses, I-houses and Greco–Italianate cubes, Victorians, Reconstruction-era and early 20th-century frame houses. Find a self-guided walking tour brochure at the Visitor Center at Hupp’s Hill on the Old Valley Pike.
A National Historic Landmark and a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the house is operated by Belle Grove Plantation, Inc., and is part of the Cedar Creek–Belle Grove National Historic Park. The house is open late March into October and again in mid to late December. Public programs include lectures and Ranger-led tours that focus on Civil War sites and other historic places.
