Description

Locust Hill, Charles Town, West Virginia: In 1864 Locust Hill was the center of a fierce battle between the Confederates under Early and the Federals under Sheridan. The house was riddled with bullets. Now a private residence, Locust Hill records the results of this battle because the bullets may still be seen in a wall of the house. Another historic scene from the area served by The Potomac Edison System.
