Historical Highway MarkersBattle of KernstownA-9
On the hill to the west, Stonewall Jackson, late in the afternoon of March 23, 1862, attacked the Union force under Shields holding Winchester. After a fierce action, Jackson, who was greatly outnumbered, withdrew southward, leaving his dead on the field. These were buried next day by citizens of Winchester.
