In this Go Prince William County, Va Issue…
Articles about the battlefields are probably a bit boring after a while; however, I’m always interested to see how non-local publishers cover it.
Also, ran out of room; but couldn’t miss mentioning the waiver of adoption fees during “Dogust.” Check them out here. Shout-out to Dave’s Dogs!!

Where History Whispers: How Manassas Preserves Civil War Grounds from Commercial Rush
Manassas, Virginia, hosts two major Civil War battlefields yet remains largely untouched by mass tourism. Locals resist commercialization to preserve its authenticity and solemn atmosphere. The town offers free access to over 5,000 acres of historical grounds, guided by a community deeply committed to conservation. Visitors are welcome—preferably in the quieter months—but are encouraged to engage respectfully and support local businesses that uphold the town's historical integrity. (Journee-Mondiale)
Manassas Police Urge Credit Checks After 2nd Card Skimmer Discovery at Local Stores
A card skimming device was discovered at a 7-Eleven on Dumfries Road in Manassas, prompting police to alert customers about potential financial risks. The device's duration at the site is unknown. This incident follows a similar case at another 7-Eleven in Dumfries last month. Skimming devices, typically hidden in ATMs and card readers, steal card data and PINs for fraudulent purposes. Authorities advise consumers to stay alert, examine card terminals closely, and monitor financial accounts regularly for unauthorized activity. (Patch)
