The 128th New York Volunteer Regiment, raised in Dutchess and Columbia Counties, fought at the Battle of Cedar Creek and lost nearly half its strength. At the opening of the Confederate assault on 19 October 1864, this area marked the eastern limit of the XIX U.S. Corps positions and was near the approximate point where U.S. Generals Horatio G. Wright and William H. Emory conferred. The regiment's veterans dedicated a memorial here on 15 October 1907 to honor all combatants, North and South.
