During the Battle of Chancellorsville, Hazel Grove, about a mile away on high ground, was occupied by Federal infantry and artillery when "Stonewall" Jackson began his flank march early on May 2, 1863. As the Confederate column moved along the road here, Federal observers in treetops spotted it, and cannon fire from Hazel Grove sent projectiles exploding near this point. Jackson's men quickened their pace until they reached cover in the low ground to the left.
