Sudley Springs Ford
July 21, 1861
About 9:30 a.m. the Union flanking column, numbering 15,000 strong, began crossing Catharpin Run here and moved southward toward Matthews Hill. Late in the afternoon this ford served as one of the principal avenues of retreat for the defeated Union army.
Marker can be reached from Sudley Road (State Highway 234), on the right when traveling north.
