There are two ‘Touring the Third Winchester Battlefield’ wayside markers at the entrances to the walking tour for the Civil War Trust’s Third Winchester battlefield site. One is at the Redbud Road trailhead on the north end of the park (39°12’36.9″N 78°07’38.1″W; map) and the other is at the Millwood School Trailhead on the southeast side of the park.

From the marker on the north side of the battlefield:

The Third Battle of Winchester

Touring the Battlefield of Third Winchester

 

Welcome to the Civil War Preservation Trust’s Third Winchester battlefield. There are three connected walking/hiking/cycling trails that will take you over much of the battlefield of September 19, 1864. The trails are steep and rugged at points (indicated on the map) and their combined length is approximately five miles, so allow for a three to four hour walk. Take the Confederate Flank and Battle trails for a much shorter walk.* Signs and tree markings will guide you. Wayside exhibits will provide information and orientation along the way. Please remain on the marked trails throughout your visit and watch for ticks and snakes. There are no restrooms or drinking facilities so please be prepared for your visit.

We hope you enjoy your time at Third Winchester. For more information about this and other sites saved by CWPT, please visit www.civilwar.org.
