Dedicated in 1885, the 8th Vermont monument, one of only three memorials on the Cedar Creek Battlefield, marks the spot where the regiment stood on the morning of October 19, 1864 and lost 110 of its 164 men, including 13 of 16 officers and three color bearers. The Civil War Trust saved this hallowed ground in 2012.

Dedicated in 1907 by veterans of the 128th New York, this monument marks the left flank of the Nineteenth Corps. Here Federal pickets were overrun by an overwhelming Confederate surprise attack on the morning of October 19, 1864.

Though Phil Sheridan's Union Army of the Shenandoah greatly out numbered him, Confederate General Jubal A. Early (right) launched an audacious surprise attack in the early hours of October 19, 1864 that very nearly destroyed the Federals.`

As surprise turned into panic, Confederates under John B. Gordon overran Union army headquarters on the morning of October 19, 1864, turning this stately mansion into the scene of terrific struggle.

Located along the Valley Pike, this monument commemorates the death of Confederate General Stephen D. Ramseur, who was mortally wounded while trying to rally his troops during the Union counterattack.

General George Getty's division of the Sixth Corps deployed on this ground and repulsed a number of Confederate assaults before retiring further to the north.

When Sheridan arrived from Winchester, the majority of his shattered command was spread out of the farm fields of David Dinges.

Members of the Sheridan’s Veterans Association pose on the Valley Pike in 1883 and point to the location where Sheridan joined the Army of the Shenandoah.

This gravel pathway leads to the site of the end of Phil Sheridan's Ride from Winchester. The Civil War Trust is currently working to preserve this important piece of the Cedar Creek battlefield.
