In the opposite direction you will find Front Royal, Strasburg, Winchester and other sites associated with Jackson's Valley Campaign of 1862 and Early's Valley Campaign of 1864.

Custer shot and hung several Confederate prisoners in Front Royal. One of Custer's Michigan troopers shot a boy whose body was left in a wheel barrow in front of his mother's home. Markers in Front Royal describe this and other wartime events --
