Stop 4: Morning Attack Trails

Cedar Creek & Belle Grove National Historical Park

Transcript

Ok, we are now located at Stop #4, on the auto tour, which is the trail head, for the Morning Attack Trails. Feel free to pick up a brochure from the brochure box behind me, which explains the trails in more detail. A walk, a short walk, 300 yards through a ravine behind me will take you to the 8th Vermont monument. Which is only one of three veteran placed monuments on the battlefield. If you don’t feel like taking that walk, proceed to the next video, which will explain the battle action that the 8th Vermont and the brigade to which they belonged found themselves in that morning. If you do take the walk to the monument itself, then watch the video when you actually reach the monument.

Description

The trails cover one area where the Confederate attackers overran part of the Federal defenses. The trails include the 8th Vermont Monument.
