Battle of Trevilians
Here, on June 12, 1864, Sheridan's cavalry, coming from Trevilians, attacked Wade Hampton, who had taken position across the road. A bloody engagement followed. Fitz Lee joined Hampton, and the Union cavalry was driven back. That night Sheridan retired eastward.

The all-calvary battle resulted in the loss of nearly 2,000.

Marker located on south side of US33 at intersection with Trevilians Square.
