If you drive west from Berkeley Springs on Route 9 you'll come to a restaurant on the left facing this great view on the right. There are two interpretive signs there. This one tells the story of the "Engagement at Great Cacapon" in January 1862, when Confederate soldiers under General Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson destroyed parts of the B&O Railroad while Federal troops struggled to protect it.
The View from Squirrel Ridge features thousands of views of the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding area. I post frequently so please visit often.
