The Brandy Station Battlefield is located almost right across the street from the airport. It was the site of the largest cavalry battle in the western hemisphere. In the first phase of the Battle of Brandy Station, Confederate artillery was set up in a line, the east end of which was on the current site of the airport. Union cavalry charged on their position, but was repulsed, and the fighting went on further to the north.
