Note: Rio Hill Skirmish, now the Rio Hill Shopping Center north of Charlottesville on Route 29 - The famed Gen. George Armstrong Custer, leading a cavalry detachment to burn mills and destroy bridges in Charlottesville, was stopped here by Confederates. A good display describing the battle is located on the wall of Subway Sandwiches in the shopping center. (Civil War Traveler, April 8, 2005)
