There are plenty of other areas to build homes. Lets not surround beautiful historical places like this with homes. Keep the rural landscape intact.

Our history belongs to everyone, its fate should not be in the hands of politicians, builders or millennials.

We have to protect our history! Once it is destroy we will never be able to replace it. Think before you build more houses!! Please save the view and the land.

We enjoyed civil war re-enactments and many other events held at Mt. Zion for 3 decades. Also take visitors to VA there to share our history.

This beautiful site is a historic treasure and must absolutely be protected. I have been touring Loudoun County's attractions for years now and ardently support efforts to preserve the area's heritage.

Been to this hallowed ground. Must be protected at all costs. The sacrifices of these soldiers should never be forgotten/lost.

Once this land is lost, it won't be reclaimed. The county should offer the owner an incentive to leave it as it is.

Yes protect this historic area. Loudon is already over developed and needs strict open space and zoning to preserve potential pasture or agricultural areas

We must be mindful that if we ignore history, we are condemned to repeat it!

It is crucial that we maintain open spaces around our historic areas. Men fought and died there. How can we appreciate their loss if all we see is development? We have more than enough strip malls and “ house farms”, one on top of the other. Just because you can see open space, you don’t need to develop it.

Once developed, a historical site can not be recovered...

More Americans made the ultimate sacrifice in the Civil War than any other war by far. Can we not honor them by protecting the land on which they laid down their lives? There is no war more important to our history than the Civil War. Let’s preserve this site as a way of saying we will never forget the great sacrifices that were made in this war and their impact on our country’s formation

Mt. Zion Church is one of the unspoiled sites in Northern Virginia where blood was spilled during the War Between the States. All who have seen it consider it HALLOWED GROUND AND WE VOTE!
