A Confederate force under General Bradley T. Johnson camped here on July 31, 1864, after raiding and burning Chambersburg, and they were the last Confederates to camp on Pennsylvania soil. General William W. Averell's Union cavalry pursued Johnson's and McCausland's brigades and routed the Confederates at the Battle of Moorefield in WV on August 7, 1864. That victory marked the beginning of Union dominance in the Shenandoah Valley.
