Henry Hill Walking Tour
Retracing the Battle
On the tour route you follow in the footsteps of charging Union and Confederate troops, and stand where they loaded cannon or braced for a bayonet assault. Terrain and tree lines have changed little since that day. As you walk imagine deafening cannon and musket fire, whizzing shell fragments, and smoke rolling like acrid fog across the slope.
Some of the bloodiest fighting occurred at Ricketts' artillery, twenty yards ahead.
Marker can be reached from Sudley Road (State Road 234) ½ mile south of Lee Highway (U.S. 29), on the right when traveling north.
