General Description

At this historic site, a ragtag group of Confederate old men and young boys beat the odds and held off an assault by 5,000 Union cavalry soldiers on a bridge of strategic importance to General Lee�s army, then under siege in Petersburg.

Camping, hiking, bicycle trails and self-guided historical and nature trails available.

A new 3,800-square-foot visitor center was opened in 1995 as a result of a unique partnership between Virginia State Parks, Virginia Power, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and the Historic Staunton River Foundation. Displays on the history of the area and exhibits on electric energy cover about half the center''s floor space.

INTERPRETIVE PROGRAMS: Civil War re-enactments, living history, nature features.
