Caption: Battle of Brandy Station
Buford's Knoll Walking Trail
Additional Description: Trailhead sign next to marker reads:

Welcome to the Civil War Preservation Trust's Brandy Station Battlefield! The battlefield walking trail is a two-mile path that takes you past four wayside signs interpreting the 1863 fighting on Beverly Ford Road and at Buford's Knoll. Allow two hours to walk the trail.

The trail has a mown walking surface; please do not stray from this trail. Beware of ticks and snakes that thrive in the fields surrounding the trail.

Most importantly, please enjoy your time in these beautiful fields and reflect that this experience would have been significantly different if this land had been paved over to build a shopping mall or subdivision. To help CWPT preserve other battlefields like Brandy Station, please call 1-888-606-1400.
