"Like other Maryland villages, Sykesville was torn asunder by the Civil War, with residents supporting both North and South. While south of the Mason-Dixon line, Maryland did not secede from the Union. On July 29, 1863, a detachment of Confederate Cavalry, under J.E.B. Stuart, arrived in Sykeville to tear up the tracks and burn the bridge to impede the Northern troops marching to Gettysburg."
