On April 7th, 2012, around 120 people attended the unveiling of “Cavalry Engagement Near Hunter’s Mill”, a new state historic marker which commemorates the action between the 1st NC Cavalry and the 3rd Penn Cavalry of 11-26-1861. It was the first time troops under JEB Stuart’s command engaged the Union Cavalry. The 3rd Penn was caught from behind and suffered a 35% casualty rate in the running skirmish. The marker is located at the intersection of Lawyers Rd and Kedge Dr.
