Not open to public

In June of 1864, Union Cavalry forces moved south on the Richmond & Danville Railroad, destroying track as they progressed toward the bridge across the Staunton River. Arriving at the Randolph Station on the afternoon of the 24th, they selected Mulberry Hill Plantation as their headquarters and immediately began to plan an attack on the bridge. Due to its elevation and commanding view they also set up artillery on the grounds and commenced a largely ineffective bombardment of the bridge and adjoining fortifications. Now a part of the Staunton River Battlefield State Park, the house is open only for special events. Click here for a map of the area.
