Stone Bridge (Manassas)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stone Bridge is a bridge that crosses Bull Run in the Manassas National Battlefield Park in Manassas, Virginia. It was destroyed duing the Battle of First Manassas on July 21, 1861, the first major land battle of the American Civil War. Some years later, a new bridge was built on the site of the old bridge, which was apparently similar to the original design. Visitors to the Battlefield Park are today familiar seeing the structure at the eastern entrance to the park. Modern day U.S. Route 29 crosses Bull Run on a bridge built in the late 1960s downstream of this one.
