   Oak Hill provided a good line of battle for the Confederacy on the first day of battle. The southerners under General Rodes began their assault on the Union men at McPherson's and Oak Ridges from here. Throughout the day, Confederate artillery pummeled Union lines from Oak Hill, and the Union finally gave up their positions. This is now the area where the Eternal Light Peace Memorial now stands.
