Withdrawing to this area after the Battle of Murfreesboro, Ben. Braxton Bragg established his command post near here. Other units went into defensive winter quarters at Bell Buckle, Shelbyville & Wartrace. Here they remained until late June, 1863, when maneuvers by Rosecrans, commanding the Army of the Cumberland forced withdrawal southward.

Marker is on Jackson Street (Tennessee Route 41-a), on the right when traveling south.
