The Stone Bridge is Stop 12 of the Manassas Battlefield Driving Tour. The bridge is on the eastern side of the battlefield and carried the Warrenton Turnpike to Centreville and eventually to Washington. It played a major role in the retreat of the Union army in both battles.
Looking west at the Stone Bridge in the foreground and behind it the modern bridge that carries US 29.
