Frederick County · dedicated 1987 · Rte. 664 at intersection with US Route 11

Near this place on June 15, 1863, Confederate troops of General Edward "Allegheny" Johnson's Division attacked and routed General Robert Milroy's Union Army during its retreat from Winchester. The short, pre-dawn battle resulted in the capture of Milroy's wagon train and more than 2300 Union prisoners. From here, the Confederate Army advanced into Pennsylvania where it suffered defeat two weeks later at Gettysburg.
