1. Morrisville Town Hall
100 Town Hall Drive
Begin your tour at Morrisville’s Town Hall
Erected in 1999, the historic marker here
commemorates the April 13, 1865 Civil
War skirmish in Morrisville. A display of
artifacts recovered from the community
can be viewed inside Town Hall.
Located a few hundred yards west, on the
heights above Indian Branch Creek, is
an undisturbed portion of the battlefield.
In this area are believed to be several
original rifle pits dug by Union and
Confederate soldiers during the skirmish.
New development has already impacted a
number of these sites.
Besides being a part
of
the
battlefield,
several
thousand
Union
soldiers
camped here during
the last weeks of the
war.
