Inscription
Two largest skirmishes of Civil War in Jefferson County occurred here Sept. 27 and 30, 1862. CSA forces, already in control of the State Capital, were threatening Louisville. In first clash the Confederates were driven back to Floyds Fork. Three days later CSA again halted at Union line. Both were preliminary to Battle of Perryville on Oct. 8, 1862.

Something Else
I have driven by it a month ago, but I last went up close to it in about 2005. It can be seen from the road when the trees have been cut back. That part of town has grown incredibly crowded and busy since 2005! People drive by it so fast that you really have to know it is there. I accidentally found it the first time, but it is very interesting information. It was never discussed in my Kentucky school in the 1980s. Thank you.
