The Last Fight

Two miles north, at sunrise of April 9, 1865, Fitz Lee and Gordon, moving westward, attacked Sheridan's position. The attack was repulsed, but a part of the Confederate cavalry under Munford and Rosser broke through the Union line and escaped. This was the last action between the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac.

Marker is on Richmond Highway (U.S. 460) 0.6 miles east of Police Tower Road (Virginia Route 613), on the right when traveling east.
