Also could be known as the Battle of Green River, Battle of Munsford
lots of battles happening around here.
This is now a preserve that protects a couple hundred acres of land.
This is the Woodson's house.
Sadly, I couldn't go in, but I love these farm houses.
They are soooo cool.
Info board.
The trails were closed and there are a few monuments
on private grounds.
It was a battle to cut off supplies Union supplies as
the bridge was actually railroad tracks.
Both conferate and Union soldiers camped on their farm.
The Woodson's house may or may not have been in the Underground RR.
It was a beautiful setting.
The battleline was 500 ft from the front door.
Evidently a Brigader General on the Union side decided
to stomp his way to Munsford without order.
It was a three day battle.
