Caption: Looking From the Farm Back towards the Visitors Center
Additional Description: Confederate Gen. Ramseur's Division advanced down what was then the Georgetown Pike (Modern Urbana Pike, MD 355), skirmishing first with Federal cavalry pickets (two companies of the 8th Illinois Cavalry). This initial action occurred around where the Visitors Center now stands. After pressing the cavalry back, Ramseur's Division deployed across the Best Farm and drove towards the Monocacy Bridges, marching directly towards the point this photograph was taken from.
