Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Bolivar Heights Battlefield in Jefferson County, West Virginia, partly in the town of Bolivar, is an American Civil War battlefield which was the site of five separate engagements between Union and Confederate troops, in October 1861, May and September 1862, June 1863, and July 1864. The battlefield lies primarily on the Bolivar Heights plateau, but also includes School House Ridge to the west, and the slopes of both, which meet at Bakerton Road. The site was also used by the armies as a campground, and, in 1864, as a Union corral and wagon yard. The battlefield is now part of the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
