Caption on back of postcard reads: "In 1864, "Locus 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." (From postcard collection legacy system.)
