Hamilton Historical Records

During the Civil War, the area of Oakton, Virginia changed hands between the Confederates and the Union Army a total of ten times. Soldiers with the Confederate and the Union armies utilized the pathway known as Hunter Hill Road, as a pathway to the Battles of Antietam, Gettysburg and Manassas.

The Hunter Mill Defense League helped coordinate a research project for the various historical markers placed on Hunter Mill Road.
