The Cedar Mountain battlefield is in private hands and the only
indication that a Civil War battle took place here are several
roadside signs on route 15 north of Orange, Virginia. To see the roadside

If you follow General Winder Road (left off of route 15 just north
of the signs above) for about one-fourth of a mile, you see this
fenced-in marker, which indicates that near here, Stonewall Jackson
used his scabbard (he was unable to remove his rusted-in sword
from it) to rally his troops after they were overrun by a Union
flanking movement.
