The parking area has been mowed. You can now easily get park and get out of your vehicle to read the historic signs.

Sadly, not much to see here. Much of the area is overgrown with trees or is now a farm. The coolest thing by far is the history provided by one of the plaques. As a war between brothers, officers on both sides often personally knew one another. After a successful raid, Confederate General Fitzhugh Lee left his Union opponent/old friend General William Averell a message taunting him to ‘return his visit, with a sack of coffee’. After the battle of Kelly’s Ford, Averell gave a sack of coffee to a wounded Confederate officer he left behind, with a message stating«Dear Fitz, Here’s your coffee. Here’s your visit. How do you like it?» Did people use the slang«burn» back in the mid 19th century?
