Of the dozens of cavalry skirmishes during the March to the Sea between the troopers of Confederate Major General Joseph Wheeler and Union Brigadier General H. Judson Kilpatrick one of their most severe fights occurred at Ivanhoe Plantation near Waynesboro GA on Sunday, November 27, 1864. The events of that day were vividly described by Ivanhoe Plantation resident Catharine Whitehead Rowland in her diary. A new interpretive marker entitled "Skirmish at Ivanhoe Plantation" (# ...L24) will be installed TOMORROW, January 14th, on the actual site of Ivanhoe Plantation and this historic cavalry clash along the "Left Wing" route of the March to the Sea Heritage Trail®:

Ivanhoe's new Georgia Civil War Heritage Trails® interpretive marker is the 31st to be installed on the March to the Sea Heritage Trail.
