Burke’s Station Raid

Burke’s Station, four miles south, was raided by Stuart’s cavalry, December, 1862. Stuart telegraphed to Washington complaining of the bad quality of the mules he had captured—a famous joke.

Marker is on Little River Turnpike (Virginia Route 236) west of Olley Lane, on the left when traveling west.
