Stuart's Hill Walking Trail
The 2 ¼ mile Stuart's Hill loop trail takes you over the ground where General James Longstreet launched a massive Confederate counterattack late on the afternoon of August 30, 1862. After intense fighting on Chinn Ridge and along the Sudley Road, General John Pope's Union army retreated back into the defenses of Washington, D.C.
A ¾ mile section of the trail will take you directly to the Brawner Farm battlefield. After the Brawner fight on the evening of August 28, 1862, Rufus King's Union division retreated down a farm lane past the John Y. Cundiff and William M. Lewis houses to Manassas Junction. King's men took along what wounded they could carry from the temporary medical aid station located at the Cundiff house.
Marker can be reached from Pageland Lane (County Route 705) 0.2 miles south of Lee Highway (U.S. 29), on the right when traveling north.
