There are many sites associated with the Battle of Cedar Mountain that are not on the main battlefield walking trails. I will point out which of these are accessible to the public or can be seen from public roads and which are on private property.

Site of the Lucy Brown House- served as a hospital for the 3rd Wisconsin- the two barns pictured below off Cedar Spring Lane are thought to be the site of the house (38.4178559, -78.0611259). Picture taken from the street.

Site of William Brown house- the modern structure pictured here is thought to be on the site of the William Brown house (38.4199534, -78.0547114)- also on Cedar Spring Lane. Picture taken from the street.

Site of Colvin’s Tavern- in a field at the corner of Old Orange Road and White Shop Road (38.4335994, -78.0391489). Picture taken from the street. The Tavern served as a hospital after the battle.

Artist Edwin Forbes drew this sketch he titled- The Battle of Cedar Mountain- Night at the Hospitals. The prominent building in the center labeled #5 is thought to be Colvin’s Tavern.

Site of Reverend Slaughter house on the Shelf- The original Reverend Slaughter house no longer exists. The current house sits on the site on private property.

The Shelf

The site of Lattimer’s Battery- on private property.

Lattimer’s commanding view of the Battlefield from the Shelf- the trees at the bottom part of each photograph were not present at the time of the battle giving an unobstructed view of Crittenden Lane where it joins the Orange-Culpeper Road (Crittenden Gate). The cars in the mid right of the top photograph are driving on Route 15. They are driving on what was then part of the cornfield.

27th Indiana, 28th New York, and 46th Pennsylvania Monuments- these three monuments are very close to each other on private property.
