The only battles fought at Macon took place here, where Federal forces twice attacked the city by emplacing cannon on this farm and were twice repulsed. In the first attack, under Gen. Stoneman on July 30, 1864, they shelled Macon from 10 A.M. until late afternoon. The residence of Mrs. Dunlap was occupied by the Federals, who tore down her stabling and erected a temporary entrenchment across her yard. The second attack was made Nov. 20, 1864, by General Kilpatrick, who also crossed Walnut Creek and attacked from the same point.
