ALDIE, Va. — It was a great evening on Tuesday as the JMU Coaches Caravan made its Northern Virginia stop at Lark Brewing Co. The energy and vision surrounding JMU and its athletics programs are continuing to build, and it’s clear there’s a lot to be excited about in Harrisonburg. 

It was exciting to hear from JMU President Dr. James Schmidt, Athletics Director Matt Roan, first-year football coach Billy Napier, women’s basketball coach Sean O’Regan, and men’s basketball coach Preston Spradlin.

Proud to be part of the Duke Club community and looking forward to another great year for the Dukes! 💜💛

MIDDLETOWN, Va. — Located in Virginia’s scenic Shenandoah Valley, the Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park preserves a landscape rich in both agricultural heritage and Civil War history. The site encompasses the historic Belle Grove Plantation, a grand 18th-century manor built in 1797, as well as the fields of the pivotal Battle of Cedar Creek, fought on October 19, 1864, where Union forces secured a decisive victory that helped solidify control of the Valley. Visitors can explore the beautifully restored plantation house, walk the battlefield trails, and learn about the lives of the diverse people who lived and worked on the land, making the park a powerful place to reflect on the region’s cultural and historical legacy.
