A Civil War sign has been erected at the confluence of the South and North Forks of the Holston River — describing the December 1864 Battle of Kingsport on the site of the Rotherwood Mansion.
The sign details the Battle of Kingsport — a one-day Civil War skirmish between Union and Confederate forces in the fields surrounding the Rotherwood Mansion. The sign includes a map of the battle, pictures of the generals involved, and a brief description of the battle.
Not far from here is a unmarked cemetery with a possible mass grave of those CSA soilders killed in the battle.
